After the big shot left, Zhu Fugui, who had been waiting outside the courtyard, came in, feeling weak all over, and crawled.

"My Lord, please, please..."

Prince Han interrupted Butler Zhu and said, "Qingyun, arrange for Nanny Yun and Zhu Jiu to go to Tingyu Pavilion, and send the imperial physician to treat them immediately."

[Oh, that's not bad. I've even moved into the main courtyard.]

【But I don’t feel guilty about living here. 】

[I have suffered so much to help you kill the daughter of the enemy who killed your mother. It is only right that I enjoy this little bit of benefit! ]

[Whether you know it or not, I know it anyway, and I just don’t feel guilty. 】

Tingyuxuan is a branch of the main courtyard, closest to Lingfeng Pavilion where King Han lives.

King Han had a complicated look in his eyes. Ever since he found out that he was not Ji Yuyao's son, he had been secretly investigating the matter.

But there was no clue until now. I didn't expect that today I would find out everything by accident.

How heartbroken must he be that his biological mother, who gave him life but whom he never had the chance to meet, and who only knew of her existence after twenty years, died of regret?

And the prince, they actually have another relationship?

According to Zhu Jiu's inner voice, his grandparents died of depression because they were disappointed with their eldest daughter and because their youngest daughter disappeared. So what about the late queen? Did she know what happened to her own sister in the palace?

Zhu Fugui kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

[It scared my dad.]

【Maybe I will believe in Buddhism even more now.】

Right Prime Minister's Office

After the Right Prime Minister Gu Chengzhi returned home, he called his only healthy legitimate son Gu Yunci, who was also Chu Yuexi's consort, to the study.

Gu Yunci asked, "Father, I heard that Chu Yuexi was in a miserable state. How exactly is she doing?"

Gu Chengzhi threw a teacup in front of Gu Yunci, "Where did you go fooling around today?

Do you know what happened today? If the emperor and the imperial concubine investigate thoroughly, will the truth about your mistress be hidden?

Although the princess is ridiculous, she is also the emperor's favorite princess. Do you know how angry the emperor is today?

The princess was struck by lightning, the emperor was angry but had no one to vent his anger on, and even Prince Han was taken out on him. How many heads do you think you have that will be chopped off in turn?

Once the emperor's anger is directed at the Gu family, do you know what the consequences will be?

How could I have such a useless son like you?"

He had only three legitimate sons in total. Of the two sons he valued the most, one had a crippled leg and the other died early, leaving behind the most useless one.

Gu Yunci retorted, "Father, you knew how cunning, domineering, and cruel Chu Yuexi was, didn't you?

I never wanted to be a royal consort. I already have someone I love.

Wasn't it you and mother who broke up the couple and forced me to become a prince consort?

You should have anticipated this outcome a long time ago. Isn't it too late to be afraid now?"

"You..., bastard.

You are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and you only have an outstanding appearance. Apart from being able to bring some honor to the family, you can't do anything else. I am just making the best use of you.

I didn't expect you were not even that useful and brought the family into danger.

Before the sun rises tomorrow, either send the mother and her two children away, or I will deal with them myself.

I'm not discussing this with you. What are you going to do next? Don't blame me for being ruthless.

Anyway, you are not the only son who can carry on the family line. At worst, I can promote the illegitimate son to the legitimate son."

Gu Yunci suppressed the pain in his eyes and said, "Father, I have been the redundant one since I was a child. If it weren't for the accidents that happened to my elder brother and second brother, you would never see me as your son.

But I don’t blame you. After all, compared to my elder and second brothers, I really don’t have any outstanding qualities.

But no matter how useless I am, I am still a hundred times better than your useless illegitimate sons.

Dad, you also understand this, otherwise you wouldn't have placed your hopes on me.

Let's be frank! The Gu family's glory is your Achilles' heel, and the mother and her two children are also my Achilles' heel.

If you dare to touch them without telling me, then I can guarantee that the glory of the Gu family will end with you."

"You bastard, how dare you threaten me?"

"Father, we all have people and things to protect, so why do we have to fight to the death?

We are not enemies, we are father and son, and we don't have to hurt each other, right, father?"

Gu Chengzhi glanced at Gu Yunci and surprisingly didn’t seem angry, “You look a bit better now.

Come on, what's your idea?"

Gu Yunci said, "I don't know what happened today, father, why don't you tell me first."

"No one knows what happened exactly, but what we can see with our own eyes is that he was struck by lightning.

There were three survivors in total, one was the princess, and the other two were servants of the Han Palace.

The princess's face was smashed, her body was extensively burned, and she lost a leg.

Although the injuries of the two servants in Prince Han's mansion were serious, they were not as serious as the princess's.

The three are still unconscious, and the Emperor has handed the matter over to the Crown Prince for investigation."

Gu Yunci pondered for a moment and said, "So, all those slave dogs that Chu Yuexi raised are dead too.

As long as we make sure that she didn't come into the palace today, or send someone to deliver a message to the palace, then no one will know about the quarrel between her and I in the room this morning.

I will immediately transfer the mother and her two children and then bring them to the palace.

Father, just remember that the three of them, mother and son, are safe and sound, and then I will have the heart to protect our family."

As soon as Gu Yunci left, Gu Yunchen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed over.

"Father, are you quarreling with the third brother again?"

Gu Chengzhi said angrily, "You are the only one who protects your child. Who tipped you off?"

"Father, my third brother just doesn't think and solve problems with ordinary people's thinking. He is not as bad as you think."

Gu Chengzhi said angrily, "He has some brains, but he is blind.

When he was determined to marry Zhang Qianqian, did you really think that your mother and I separated them in order to curry favor with the powerful?

If Zhang Qianqian was a good person, it wouldn't matter if she had a clean family background and a low social status.

But is what your third brother did a human thing? He insisted on marrying a prostitute.

You and I are both men, don't we know that a woman coming out of that place can be innocent?

How can she be a simple woman if she can fill your brother's head with water?

He thought that marrying a domineering princess would be able to control him and curb his temper, but he never expected that he would do such a thing as having an affair with another woman.

What little intelligence he had was all used up in hiding his affair from his mistress."

Gu Yunchen looked at his old father whose beard was shaking with anger, shook his head and said, "Under the noses of you and the princess, the Third Brother not only kept a concubine, but also had a son and a daughter without anyone knowing. Doesn't this prove one thing, that the Third Brother is not as bad as you think?

Dad, instead of being angry here, you should think about how to deal with him. "

"Hmph, do I need to think about it? The fact that you're here proves that you have an idea, doesn't it?"

Gu Yunchen said, "I do have an idea, but the third brother will probably suffer a bit."
