After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate
Chapter 103 The Palace Banquet Troubles
He has figured it out over the years: nothing is eternal between people, and only common interests are the most unbreakable.
On the way back, Jin Ruoyun had already thought of a strategy for how to deal with the situation next.
"You and I both want Gu Boqing to die. He cheated in the Spring Examination. He must lose his head for doing such a thing."
"Mr. Tong Qi, are you willing to report him and take your place? If you are willing, I have a way for you to go directly to the emperor to plead your case."
Twenty years ago, the reason why his report was unsuccessful was because Gu Boqing replaced him as the third place in the imperial examination and he also had the relationship as the son-in-law of the Jin family.
Therefore, even though many people knew that he had replaced someone else's rank and became the first, most of the bigwigs would favor Gu Boqing and conceal the matter.
But the situation is different now. The Jin family has personally come out to fight against Gu Boqing. No one will not give the Jin family face, so he has no chance of winning.
Tong Qi hesitated for a long time, struggled with it, and decided to take a gamble.
"Okay! I will cooperate with you, but you must ensure my safety and not interfere with my personal freedom."
He had evidence that would ensure the death of Gu Boqing, but he did not have 100% trust in Jin Ruoyun.
Jin Ruoyun agreed readily, turned around and told Ding Xiang:
"Dingxiang, arrange a place for Mr. Tong to live. It must be hidden and safe enough. The palace banquet will be held in a few days. You can expose him then. In front of the whole court, I want to see what he can say. The victim has come forward in person.
She didn't expect Gu Boqing to dare to do such a thing. She knew he was a bad person, but she didn't expect him to be so bad. This was someone else's bright future, and he stole it.
At this moment, Dingxiang's blood was boiling. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
She took Tong Qi down with her and arranged for many servants and guards to protect him secretly.
The reason why I did it secretly was that I didn't want to give Tong Qi such a strong sense of oppression.
Cheng Che also sent a number of people to protect his safety, to ensure that he could be present at the palace banquet on the day of the banquet to report Gu Boqing.
In the evening, Tong Qi took advantage of the darkness and went to the forest not far from Taiqing Temple, where he dug out the thing he had been carrying with him all the way, which he regarded as his life.
Looking at the paper in his hand, his blood boiled.
"Gu Boqing, you didn't expect that I still have these!"
A few days later…
The retreat at Taiqing Temple ended just in time for the palace's annual banquet.
Jin Chi reported Tong Qi's case to the emperor early in the morning. He went to the palace first, ready to find a suitable opportunity to appeal to the emperor.
The emperor looked embarrassed. He didn't want to make the palace banquet chaotic. He resisted on the surface, but he was actually cheering in his heart.
The palace banquets every year were extremely boring. He was so tired of hearing all those princes and ministers toasting him and flattering him.
He was extremely happy to see Gu Boqing making such a big scene.
Jin Yuanyuan also attended the palace banquet this year. She was led in by Gu Xu and sat in the assigned seat.
This year is different from usual times. Jin Yuanyuan came as a member of the Jin family, not as a member of Gu Boqing's side.
The Third Prince and Gu Xingruo were released from house arrest and came along this time.
Gu Xingcheng was blind, so it was inconvenient for him to come, and Gu Boqing was also afraid that the emperor would be unhappy if he saw him, so he didn't bring him.
So he has Gu Xingruo with him at the moment.
Even though they were so low-key, there were still people whispering to them.
One of the ladies, who was covering her face with a handkerchief, could not help whispering to her master.
"Master, that must be the Lord Gu you often mention, right? The woman next to him is Sang Xiaowan, the one who cheated on him?"
The adult pulled her sleeve and told her to stop talking nonsense.
"Keep your voice down! Are you afraid that others don't know that you have a loud voice? That's not Sang Xiaowan, it's the third prince's concubine."
"As soon as she was brought into the palace, the Third Prince put her under house arrest, so naturally you don't know her."
Stars flashed in the lady's eyes, and her gossip radar scanned Gu Xingruo.
"It's hers! I've heard of her. She was the one wearing white at the wedding. This is the first time I've seen someone so crazy. Is this a wedding or a funeral?"
The man could not help but reply, "Say yes or no, I see, he has not had a smooth life since Gu Boqing left Jin Ruoyun, and his son is blind and cannot take the imperial examination. And the third prince who married his daughter has also been implicated and confined to his house."
"In my opinion, without Jin Ruoyun, the Gu family's arrogance has come to an end."
These words happened to be heard by Gu Xingruo. Zhao Lingzhou warned her not to act impulsively in the future.
After being confined for such a long time, she has indeed become more stable, but it is difficult to change one's nature.
Hearing someone cricketing behind her, she turned around and glared at the couple.
"Why has our Gu family come to an end?! My husband is the third prince, and my father is a trusted official in the court. Who knows, maybe our third prince will still be the crown prince in the future! Ah..." She wanted to say that the third prince would become the crown prince in the future.
Zhao Lingzhou covered her mouth with his hand and warned her with his eyes not to talk nonsense anymore.
Gu Xingruo pouted and glared at Jin Ruoyun and the others unwillingly.
It’s no big deal. The Jin family might be disliked by the emperor someday. They are more powerful than the emperor, so they will surely end up being torn into pieces by five horses!
She remembered that the Jin family did not have a good ending in the book, so it would definitely be like what was written in the book.
As long as her third prince becomes emperor and she becomes queen, she will wipe out all members of the Jin family.
Jin Yuanyuan felt someone was staring at the back of her head, and she felt a chill. When she turned around, she saw Gu Xingruo looking like he wanted to eat them alive. She rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Ridiculous!"
"Yuanyuan, what did you say? Whose stomach?" Gu An just heard something about stomach. Did his sister eat too much? Did she have a stomachache?
But didn’t they just start eating?
Jin Yuanyuan held her forehead with her small hand helplessly, "Third brother, you should take a good look at your ears. What stomach? I mean Gu Xingruo is being unreasonable and staring at us the whole time."
Gu An looked back and saw that, indeed, Gu Xingruo's eyes were full of malice. He tried to comfort his sister without paying much attention.
"It's okay. It will be her turn to cry soon. Just wait and see."
Gu Boqing was not deaf and heard everything Cricket said.
If there were only one or two such sounds, he wouldn't care.
But ever since he separated from Jin Ruoyun, many people have said that he mistook pearl for elm wood, and that he has been unlucky since he left Jin Ruoyun.
He had heard this voice so many times that he had to believe it.
Looking at Jin Ruoyun, who now exudes confidence, she feels much more pleasing to the eye.
She is much better than the previous stupid woman who only knew how to hang around at home and was not presentable.
Or... get back together with her?
