The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

Royal study room.

The emperor angrily picked up the inkstone at hand and smashed it hard at the spy who reported the news.

The spies dared not hide.

He endured it head on, his head was smashed, blood was flowing and dripping, his face and the ground were all red.

"Check! Check for me!"

"I want to see who is so bold as to slander the Crown Princess and insult the royal family! I will kill all his clans!"

"Your Majesty, I will check it out immediately."

There was no need for spies to investigate, as someone automatically jumped out and ran to the county lady's mansion to give earnest advice.

"County Master, this is wrong."

"Everyone in Jiangnan City knows that you have married a man into the family. That man is the son of a close friend of Lord Guan and a merchant."

"You can't make a big mistake that will implicate the entire Gu family and lead to the execution of nine generations of the clan!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Master Guan and the others all know about this?! Is that son-in-law the son of Master Guan's best friend?!"

"As the prince's uncle, how can you follow outsiders and deceive others?"

"To trick the prince!"

They were so confused and shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Listening to the people around him talking and belittling him, the instigator lowered his head with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Gu Changcun! You're looking for death!"

A loud shout rang out, and Guan Fuqing rushed forward in the astonished eyes of everyone, grabbed Gu Changcun by the collar, and punched him with his fist.

Fists kept falling, he said hatefully.

"You are a member of Fourth Sister's clan and her cousin. How can you throw dirty water on her and harm her and her whole family?"

Gu Changcun was pinned to the ground and beaten, and his face and body were in terrible pain.

He bared his teeth and said, "I am her cousin and I cannot bear to see her and your family conspiring to cheat on the prince."

"I beat you to death!"

Guan Fuqing waved his fist vigorously, his face full of disgust, "So it was you who was behind all this, spreading rumors. Fourth sister's family has been so kind to you, but it's all in vain!"

"Bah! Why are you so nervous?"

"My cousin is as beautiful as a flower. Why are you so anxious? Do you like her too?" Gu Changcun spat a mouthful of blood foam on his face.

"The prince didn't even bother me, so why would you, an irrelevant person, get involved?"

"Hahaha, is the baby in her belly yours? You're so anxious."

The people around looked at Guan Fuqing in surprise and murmured, "Is Third Young Master Guan so kind? He has such deep feelings for his adopted sister?"

Someone immediately objected.

"She is the Crown Princess, the future mother of a country. It is normal to be nice to her."

Hearing his words, everyone quieted down.

There was a malicious light flashing in Gu Changcun's eyes, and he revealed another secret.

"Guan Fuqing, don't think I don't know that you like my cousin. At the beginning, I asked Lord Guan and his wife to go to the Gu family to ask my second uncle and aunt for marriage."

Guan Fuqing panicked, his eyes trembling slightly.

Didn't my parents say that no one else knew? How could Gu Changcun know? Where did he hear the news?

"The county lady is my adopted sister now, and as a brother it is my duty to care about her."

"People with only a heart see everything as dirty, and..."

In the end, he had no choice but to shut up. He must not tell anyone that the prince was the son-in-law. The emperor and empress knew about it, even if his fourth sister was pregnant.

Even if she has a piece of gold in her pocket, they will still be displeased and dissatisfied with her.

"I am the son-in-law." Pei Qinyu walked slowly towards them, wearing a black brocade robe, his face as cold as ice.

The prince is a son-in-law! ?

The hearts of the onlookers rose and fell, and then rose again.

Fortunately, their hearts were all in good condition, otherwise they would have fainted from fright.

Gu Changcun’s eyes almost popped out of his head, and his mouth opened wide: “What?!”

"You—! Are you the prince?!"

This was not what the man said when he found him. The son of a merchant had suddenly become the crown prince, and the life he had managed to save was about to end again!

Seeing his funny face, Pei Qinyu's eyes flashed with anger.

He roughly guessed who had spread the rumors these days: "Wu Liang, arrest him and bring him to the palace, and hand him over to the emperor for interrogation."

Gu Changcun had already been told by Guan Yuqin that he was the crown prince.

He was frightened by the fact that the prince was a son-in-law, and was violently dragged away by Wu Liang. His butt was so painful that he couldn't even say a word.

The crowd dispersed.

They heard the biggest gossip, but didn't dare to discuss it in front of the person responsible, so they prepared to go back and discuss it in private.

Be nice!

The Crown Prince loves the Crown Princess so much that he even secretly marries into the family of a small merchant.

It is extremely shameful for a man from an ordinary family to marry into another family.

Not to mention the prince who is so noble, the royal family has lost all face. It can only be said that the prince loves the princess terribly, and the princess is also good at tricking the prince into being so obsessed.

Many people who had never seen Gu Yunyan felt as if they were being scratched by a cat.

Too curious.

Gu Yunyan was supported by Jin Lingliuyu and walked out. Most of the people had already left. She tilted her head and said, "Pei Qinyu, Third Brother, didn't you say someone was here to cause trouble? Where is that person?"

The two men, hostile to each other, looked at each other and turned their heads away at the same time.

"It's okay. I've already caught the person. Yan'er, go back to the house and rest. There's a floor heating in the house, so it's warm. It's freezing outside, and the ground is icy. Be careful not to get slippery."

Pei Qinyu spoke a little faster, speaking before Guan Fuqing could.

Not only that, he strode forward and waved away Jin Lingliu Yu, put one hand on Gu Yunyan's shoulder, and the other on her waist, lowering his head and eyes, full of tenderness.

Inadvertently.

He glanced at Guan Fuqing with a warning in his eyes, but then he looked away in an instant.

He stared at Gu Yunyan gently, his expression changing easily.

The relationship between the two was very sweet. Guan Fuqing decided to let go, but his heart still ached a little and he forced a smile.

"Fourth sister, it's just a little farce among the people because of the snow and slippery roads. It's nothing serious. The prince has just dealt with it. You should go into the house quickly."

Gu Yunyan looked at Pei Qinyu and then at Guan Fuqing.

I laughed in my heart. It was rare that two men who disliked each other could have such a tacit understanding.

But unfortunately, she already knew what had just happened through the system.

Gu Changcun was really lucky, like an indestructible cockroach. He didn't want to live a peaceful life, but had to make things difficult for her and jump out to disgust her.

There is no way the emperor will let him go this time.

Thinking about it, she shook her head and rejected their proposal: "I am going to the palace to visit my mother today, so I won't go back."

Don't miss this good show.

I don’t know if I can kill the Sixth Prince with one slap this time. I hope the Emperor can give some help.

Pei Qinyu and Guan Fuqing's eyes changed and they wanted to persuade Gu Yunyan.

But thinking about her personality, she was not the kind of person who would listen to advice, so Pei Qinyu had to bring her into the palace himself.

......

"You are the one who spread rumors behind my back and slandered my crown prince, daughter-in-law and grandson?" The emperor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looked imposing.

Gu Changcun trembled, his face pale and his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was deceived by someone with ulterior motives. I didn't know that the husband of the county lady's cousin was the prince!"

He never mentioned the word "son-in-law" for fear that the emperor would get even angrier and chop off his head immediately.

The emperor sneered: "You don't know? Then who is the person behind you? If you can't explain, I will have you cut into pieces!"
