So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Treason is a serious crime, and the cabinet ordered the search and confiscation of the residences of the Duke of Yiguo and the Grand Princess, and strictly checked the correspondence and account books to search for the rebel party.

The masters and servants of the two mansions were all detained, countless gold, silver and jewelry were confiscated and compiled into a book and put into the national treasury, and the hereditary Duke Yi Mansion, which had been famous for five generations, also fell into decline.

Chu Changning was escorted to the No. 1 cell in the Ministry of Justice's inner prison, where her husband Gao Wei, with whom she had been entangled for half her life, was imprisoned.

Speaking of it, the Chu family is not really united. The emperor has been passed down for five generations. During the reign of Taizu, Chu Guoyu rebelled. Not long after that, Chu Changning came. There are quite a few distinguished guests in the No. 1 cell.

Even though they became prisoners, these rebels were of royal blood after all. The layout of the No. 1 cells was relatively simple and clean, retaining the last bit of dignity for these former outstanding people.

Gao Wei sat in the cell, without any sense of urgency about dying. Chu Changning and Gao Wei's only son Gao Mao had been properly bandaged by the doctor and was lying quietly in another cell. It seemed that he had saved his life.

"Mao'er! Mao'er!" Chu Changning saw the seriously injured Gao Mao, rushed to the prison door, and called out to his son again and again. However, the seriously injured Gao Mao had already fallen into a coma.

Chu Changning, who had been nervous for days, collapsed. She couldn't stop crying and turned to look at Gao Wei: "Husband! Our son! Save our son!"

Gao Wei was indifferent. He opened his eyes and looked at the man beside him. He just sneered and said, "Success makes you a king and failure makes you a bandit. It's all because he was born in the wrong family. How can I rescue the rebels?"

Traitor? Traitor! Chu Changning was disheartened when she heard this. She stared at Gao Wei in disbelief, her eyes filled with despair and anger. Didn't Gao Wei support and cheer for this so-called "correcting the original and upholding the orthodoxy" at the beginning?

"I am the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizu. If I hadn't wanted to marry you, I would have been the crown princess long ago. Why would I have to raise an army to seize power today?" Chu Changning was full of resentment.

Gao Wei remained silent and indifferent, as if he couldn't see her.

Chu Changning sat down leaning against the wall, reviewing his experiences in this quiet and secluded place.

The family of three looked at each other in silence and achieved a rare peaceful coexistence in prison, which was a rare event in their lives.

Outside the prison, Chu Yuanming, Song Pu and others were puzzled. Why did they know the secrets of Yueyun prefect Teng Daisheng secretly bringing garrison troops into Beijing, and Rongguogong Liu Chongshan and Qingguogong Wei Xun and their children assisting in the palace coup? Even the Right Censor of the Censorate Lian Xing and the Left Tongzheng Wu Jing, who were buried deep and not used, stood in line in the main hall of Ruiwang Mansion and exposed themselves. Why did all this go so smoothly?

Chu Changning's faction was able to pull out so cleanly, as if it was assisted by God. Even if Chu Changning himself did not have much political acumen, Liu Chongshan had crawled out of a bloody sea, Wei Xun was eloquent and cunning, Teng Daisheng, Lian Xing and others were all outstanding people selected through the imperial examinations. These people were wholeheartedly trying to help Chu Changning and the Gao family ascend to the throne and benefit from it. Why were they so easily deceived?

If there was no traitor, Chu Yuanming didn't believe that so many smart people would make the same mistake. He asked people to investigate carefully and finally found some shocking clues, and these clues all pointed to a person he didn't expect - Gao Wei, the Duke of Yiguo.

The one who betrayed Chu Changning was actually Gao Wei, one of the people who assisted her in the rebellion and benefited the most from her success.

Chu Yuanming could never have imagined that Gao Wei would actually betray Chu Changning. After getting the information from the spy, he verified it several times and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the work of Yiguogong Gao Wei himself.

But a hundred years after Chu Changning, Gao Mao, the only son of Chu Changning and Gao Wei, naturally inherited the throne. That day, the dynasty changed without bloodshed and the Gao family took on their surname. Why did Gao Wei want to destroy his own stage? If he rebelled now and killed all his nine clans, what good would it do to Gao Wei?

Chu Yuanming really couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to Gao Wei in person to ask for clarification and make it clear to his royal aunt that he had lost.

He came to the inner prison, and the jailer flattered him step by step to the No. 1 cell in the deepest part of the inner prison. Chu Yuanming looked at the furnishings in the No. 1 cell with a complicated expression, as well as the imperial aunt who was imprisoned in the cell and was once the most high-ranking person in the past. He thought that if he rose to power, he must not be ambushed like Chu Changning.

He did not order the jailer to open the cell door where Chu Changning and others were imprisoned. He only asked someone to move the armchair and sat outside the cells of Chu Changning and Gao Wei.

Chu Changning looked at his nephew and immediately started to curse: "Chu Yuanming, you are a cowardly villain without guts. You and I both want to be emperors, but you are like a mouse hiding in a dark corner, never daring to stand out openly. You get scared and run away at the slightest sign of trouble! People like you are destined to never achieve great things and can only be pitiful for the rest of your life.

This road is dangerous. Since you are so timid, as your royal aunt, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible and be a rich and noble prince. When Xing'er grows up, it will not be too late to kill your good uncle. "Chu Changning did not stop talking, and Chu Yuanming did not respond to her, but only looked at Gao Wei.

Gao Wei also looked at him without showing any surprise, "I didn't expect you to come." He said lightly.

"I didn't expect that you would betray the Imperial Aunt." Chu Yuanming's tone was still calm.

When Chu Changning heard this, he stood there in a daze as if he had been suddenly muted, looking at Gao Wei in surprise.

Gao Wei smiled and said, "I have never been truly loyal to her, so how can I talk about betrayal? Everything I did was for myself."

Chu Yuanming frowned, "For yourself? Then why don't you help the imperial aunt to succeed? You are husband and wife, and you have an only son. Don't you want the Gao family to rule the country?"

Gao Wei sneered and said, "Husband and wife? The world? Do you think I am so precious? Chu Changning only wants a plaything that meets her requirements and obeys her. If she doesn't have me, she has Zhang Wei and Li Wei. Now that her house has been raided, you should have seen that there is a male favorite Wei Feng in her house who looks very similar to me. Has she ever treated me as a husband and wife?"

Gao Wei paused and said, "Child, I could have had a child with the one I love, but who cares about her child?"

"As for the world, I don't care. The world has always existed and will not change for anyone. You are just chasing power. Have you ever really owned the world for a moment? How ridiculous."

Chu Yuanming felt sad after hearing Gao Wei's words. He originally thought that Gao Wei and the imperial aunt had a deep affection for each other, but he didn't expect that all this was Chu Changning's wishful thinking.

"I don't want this couple, I don't want the child, and I don't want the world! I want Chu Changning to die! It would be best if the damn Gao family bloodline is cut off!" Gao Wei looked very crazy.

After hearing this, all the doubts in Chu Yuanming’s mind were resolved.

"You have achieved your goal now." Chu Yuanming said calmly.

Gao Wei came out of his madness and fell silent, then said: "Yes, I have achieved my goal. Prince Jin, I have no objection to your judgment, but I ask one thing of you. My burial site a hundred years from now has been chosen, just outside Changqi Mansion where I was stationed. My beloved has been buried there in advance, please bury me there too."

After saying this, he closed his eyes, and two lines of turbid tears slid down his resolute and old face. He stood up, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Chu Yuanming, and then said nothing.
