The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

The warship docked, and Chen Sisi got off the ship with the soldiers on board.

He walked quickly to Chen Xu's side.

"Dad..." Chen Sisi's slightly round face was filled with fear and sadness, and her voice was filled with tears.

Chen Sisi was sent to the Queen Mother since she was young. Chen Xu felt guilty and had always treasured his only daughter. At this moment, he was focused on his daughter and did not notice the people getting off the warship.

"Sisi, what's wrong?" he asked anxiously.

With tears in her eyes, Chen Sisi took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Chen Xu.

"Dad, Grandfather...Grandfather is gone, Uncle Fu asked me to give this to you."

Chen Xu looked at the letter in a daze for a long time, as if he didn't understand what Chen Sisi said.

"Father..." Chen Xu didn't come to his senses until Chen Sisi's voice choked with sobs. He took the letter from Chen Sisi and wrote "Dear Chen Xu" on the envelope.

Chen Xu looked at the letter, his expression changed instantly, and the hand holding the letter even trembled slightly. Finally, the letter fell to the ground, stained with mud on the ground.

Chen Xu roared, his voice filled with endless sorrow.

He never thought that everything he did would eventually drive his father to death. He had already planned a way out for them. He had long been involved in the Queen Mother's chaos and could not get out of it, so he did not want his father and Sisi to be implicated by him. He originally wanted his father to take Sisi away from the East and leave the Great Zhou by sea. But he did not expect that Sisi would suddenly disappear, disrupting his plan.

Now, he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country, supported the army in rebellion, and his father kicked him out of the Chen family tree, cut off all ties with him, and even blamed him for not educating his son well, and said he was a sinner of the Great Zhou. Although the Chen family was not a family of nobles, they were also loyal and good officials. But everything he did now was to make the Chen family bear the eternal infamy.

His father regretted that it was hopeless to stop all this, so he committed suicide in the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and apologized to His Majesty and the ancestors of the Chen Clan on his behalf. On one side was his lifelong loyalty and on the other was his son whom he could not part with. He had forced his father to death, and he was ashamed of his father's kindness in raising him. He should have thought that his father would not leave with the person he arranged.

Chen Xu looked at the tearful words of regret and accusation on the letter. His father, who should have been enjoying his old age, died so tragically. His daughter, who should have grown up safely in his arms, was forced to be separated from him for many years. The hatred he had for the Queen Mother over the years grew wildly and spread, and he instantly got out of control.

He asked his deputy to keep an eye on Chen Sisi, then turned around with red eyes, holding a knife and walked towards the Queen Mother, as if he was ready to risk everything:

"All officers, listen up! Capture alive everyone on this royal ship!"

As soon as he gave an order, the ferry was thrown into chaos. The sound of weapons clashing mixed with desperate cries for help reached Chen Xu's ears from all directions.

He looked at the East Coast Defense Army who was suddenly slashing at him, his expression startled, and he dodged sideways. The tip of the knife cut his arm and blood gushed out.

Only then did he realize that the East Territory Coastal Defense Force and the Nan Ji survivors who had gotten off the boat did not obey his command, but instead pointed their swords at his Chen Family Army. Because they were caught off guard, most of the Chen Family Army was killed in an instant.

Chen Xu reacted instantly and realized that he had fallen into a trap!

He turned around and wanted to go look for Chen Sisi, but saw his deputy lying on the ground, dead. The 'daughter' who had just looked terrified now had a strange face, holding a bloody sword in her hand, looking at him coldly.

This is not his daughter!!

"You are not Sisi! Who are you!!" Chen Xu raised the knife and slashed at Yun Ya, who was pretending to be Chen Sisi. It seemed that he was hit too hard and did not notice the person slashing at him from the side. The hand holding the knife was cut again.

The intense pain caused the knife to fall from his hand. The people around him rushed up and surrounded him instantly. Chen Xu was trapped in the middle and unable to move.

Chen Xu looked at the people who surrounded him. Although these people were wearing the uniforms of the Coast Guard, they were ruthless and fierce, and their moves were not like those of their navy.

"You are not the Coast Guard, who are you?"

"Master Chen has good eyesight!"

A clear and dignified voice came from the boat. Chen Xu felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and he looked in the direction of the voice. Gu Yan'an, wearing a dark blue brocade dress, walked down from the boat, playing with a string of white jade-like bodhi beads in his hand, and looked at him with a careless and lazy look. There was no murderous intent in his eyes, but Chen Xu felt a great sense of oppression coming towards him, which instantly magnified the fear in his heart.

Gu Yan'an! He's not dead?

The empress dowager, who had been watching from a distance, saw the sudden change and her eyes regained their usual dignity. However, when Cheng Zong behind him saw Gu Yan'an come out, his face turned grim and he looked at the empress dowager nervously.

The dark ghost noticed his abnormality and glanced at him with cold eyes.

"Who is that person? Why have I never seen him before?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile on her face.

Cheng Zong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Seeing the Queen Mother's message, he had no choice but to step forward and explain:

"Your Highness, that person is...Gu Yan'an, the prince of Beiyang."

The Queen Mother's smile froze, and she turned to look at Cheng Zong:

"Gu Yan'an! Didn't you say he was dead?"

Cheng Zong was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I saw him fall off the Qingfeng Cliff with my own eyes! The Qingfeng Cliff is so deep that you can't see the bottom. I didn't expect that he could still be alive."

"Please forgive me!"

The Queen Mother looked stern, lowered her eyes and looked at him, suppressing the anger in her heart:

"Get out of here! Don't let him see you!"

Cheng Zong thanked him quickly and hid away.

Chen Xu looked at Gu Yan'an. It turned out that he had arranged everything. His eyes were full of resentment: "Gu Yan'an! You are not dead!"

"I'm not dead, I'm sorry to disappoint Governor Chen!" Gu Yan'an walked up to him, raised his eyebrows, and looked down at him.

Chen Xu saw Liu Feng sending signals to the sky behind him, and he suddenly realized.

When he was conspiring with the Nan Ji survivors that day, he had seen this man standing behind the leader of the Nan Ji survivors. Unexpectedly, he fell into their trap from that moment on!

"Gu Yan'an! You are despicable!" he screamed.

Gu Yan'an ignored him, but looked up at the signal blooming in the sky, then looked down at him condescendingly.

"Chen Xu, do you know why the coastal defense troops you called in didn't come?"

Chen Xu remained silent, and Gu Yan'an continued:

"Because of you, you want them to fight against their own people. Their relatives and friends are all in the Great Zhou, which is the home they have risked their lives to protect. But you want them to destroy the things they are protecting for your own selfish reasons. No one will be willing to follow you, Chen Xu."

"As for that letter, it was given to me personally by the old master in Qingzhou that day. Old Master Chen had a rough life, and his reputation as a loyal and good man was ruined by you."

Chen Xu listened to the loud fighting outside the city and looked at the bloodstained letter on the ground. Unspeakable bitterness gradually appeared in his eyes. His father had long warned him not to be blinded by power and that he would not end up well if he conspired with the Queen Mother. But he never took it to heart. It was his arrogance that harmed his father and Sisi.

Gu Yan'an saw his increasingly desperate expression and stopped looking at him:

"Take him away and keep him under guard. If anyone in the city disobeys this order, kill him without mercy!"
