After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

After the prince overheard Jin Yuanyuan complaining about her father that day, he sent people to secretly investigate Gu Boqing.

He actually found something.

Gu Boqing was born in a poor family. His father died early, leaving him with only a widowed mother.

In his hometown, I found out that he had a concubine who was extremely beautiful.

Gu Boqing was afraid that people would notice her, so he seldom let her go out and kept her at home. Therefore, only a few neighbors knew that he had a concubine.

The concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter for Gu Boqing.

But when Gu Boqing and Jin Ruoyun got married, there was no concubine around them.

He originally thought that the concubine had died.

But the spies found out that things were not that simple.

Gu Boqing's concubine was named Sang Xiaowan, who was born in a brothel. The reason why Gu Boqing couldn't find her after he got married was because she had been kept by Gu Boqing in the farm.

A few months ago, shortly after Jin Ruoyun gave birth, Gu Boqing brought his concubine and son and daughter to live in the Gu Mansion as Gu Boqing's biological sister.

When he heard the servant's report, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless!

He told the emperor everything, except why he had doubts.

The prince was afraid that the emperor would know Jin Yuanyuan's secret and that she would be regarded as a monster.

"Shameless bastard! Is Gu Boqing worthy of being a man? He actually bullies the wife of the first wife like this. It really brings shame to us men!"

I didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so outrageous.

Even a dog couldn't think of such a thing as calling a concubine one's own sister and keeping her by one's side.

Gu Boqing actually did such a beastly thing without blushing or feeling any pain!

The prince agreed with his father's words and cursed a few words in his heart.

"So, Father cannot openly reward Yuanyuan."

"Gu Boqing married Jin Ruoyun just for the sake of profit and status. If he knew that the emperor was so fond of Yuanyuan, he would have continued to suck blood from Jin Ruoyun!"

Jin Yuanyuan looked at the prince with admiration.

[Wow~ Your Highness, you are my God!!!]

[With such foresight, no wonder you can become the crown prince! ]

The emperor felt a little jealous after overhearing her thoughts.

I just said that he was the best, how come he has become the prince now?

"Ahem, you're right. We can't give out rewards openly. So, we won't give out these things?"

[No! If you can't give it to me openly, you can give it to my grandfather! Let him keep it for me. I can use it when my mother leaves the Gu Mansion.]

Afraid that he really wouldn't give it to her, she anxiously kicked her legs in the emperor's arms.

The emperor thought this method was feasible, and immediately ordered people to carry these things into Jin Chi’s general’s mansion and explained the reason.

He looked at Jin Yuanyuan in his arms, as if he was holding a nugget of gold, and he couldn't look at her enough.

Thinking of something, he said casually: "Although we cannot tell the princes and ministers about the Crown Princess's pregnancy, we can tell the Queen and your third brother. They will definitely not spread it."

He was carrying a big secret in his heart and didn't share it with anyone, so he felt suffocated.

When the prince heard that he was going to tell Zhao Lingzhou, he was extremely opposed.

"No! You can't tell my third brother."

"Why? He is your brother. He lost his mother when he was young. Your mother treats him as her own son. We are all family. He will not go out and say anything nonsense."

The prince turned his head away, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"You can't tell him anyway!"

Zhao Lingzhou will replace him in the future. If he is deposed as the crown prince, the crown princess and her entire family will be exiled.

He has always coveted his position!

If Zhao Lingzhou knew that the Crown Princess was pregnant, he would definitely find a way to harm his child before the Crown Princess's pregnancy was stable.

It’s okay that my father usually sides with Zhao Lingzhou, but he will never agree to this matter!

He couldn't explain why he couldn't tell him. If he told him, Jin Yuanyuan would definitely be implicated.

Seeing that he kept silent and refused to talk about why he couldn't tell her, the emperor became a little angry.

"Prince, Ling Zhou is your brother! Although you two are not born from the same mother, he has a kind heart and a gentle temperament. He will not harm you! Don't be suspicious all the time! You are not a crown prince like this!"

When he had just ascended the throne, he was assassinated by his brother. It was Zhao Lingzhou's mother, Concubine Xian, who blocked the fatal knife for him.

The virtuous concubine died on the spot.

From then on, Zhao Lingzhou was kept by the queen's side.

He felt sorry for Zhao Lingzhou who had lost his mother at a young age, and he also admired Concubine Xian for blocking the knife.

Also, because Zhao Lingzhou had been sensible since childhood, had a gentle temperament and did not like fighting, the emperor liked him very much.

Even some of the regulations for the Third Prince were arranged for him in the same way as for the Crown Prince.

The emperor insisted on telling the third prince.

He didn't want to announce the pregnancy news in the future, and his third son didn't know. He was afraid that he would be sad, so why didn't he tell him at the beginning.

The prince originally thought that the emperor liked Zhao Lingzhou and not himself.

He has always been cautious and tried hard to get his father's approval.

But he has tried so hard to be a good crown prince, and his father still likes Zhao Lingzhou the most and keeps speaking well of him.

Seeing that the emperor was determined to tell him, the prince's emotions got out of control again.

Veins bulged on his arms, and his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the emperor. He couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

"Father, am I your son or the crown prince of Tianyuan Kingdom?"

"Ever since the day I was named the Crown Prince, I have been very cautious and never dared to make a single mistake. Even when I was sick, I never missed a day of class. I want to be a wise ruler like my father, and provide a pillar of support for the people of the world!"

"But no matter how hard I try, no matter how diligent I am, you seem to be unable to see me. You only have my third brother in your eyes!"

"I still remember that when I was sixteen, I wrote an article about flood control that was praised by people who didn't drink. I was happy to show it to you, just wanting a word of praise from you."

"But because my third brother broke his leg while riding a horse, you threw my article on the ground without even reading it! You were in a hurry to see my third brother!"

"In your heart, am I the crown prince of Tianyuan Kingdom, or is he, Zhao Lingzhou?!"

Few people dared to question the emperor in this way, and his words were very serious.

The Crown Princess was originally immersed in the joy of being pregnant, but suddenly, she was frightened by the Crown Prince's outrageous words and her face changed drastically.

She understood the grievances and dissatisfaction the prince had felt over the years.

But getting angry at the emperor so directly would inevitably make him furious.

She knew that the prince was too happy today and relaxed for a moment, and his emotions began to get out of control again.

These words were so serious that they frightened everyone present, including the emperor.
