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

The Sixth Prince strode in and said loudly, "Father, this lowly person has ruined the reputation of the Crown Prince. He actually said that the Crown Prince is a son-in-law."

"When I was in Jiangnan Prefecture, I married into the Crown Princess's sister-in-law's family."

"Now the people of the capital all know about this matter. I am afraid that it will spread throughout the country in the future. I don't know how other countries will sneer at my royal family."

The emperor's face was grim and he glared at the Sixth Prince fiercely.

He casually picked up the jade pen holder on the imperial desk and threw it over, shouting, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. The prince is your brother, and this is how you look upon him?"

Can’t he find out whether the prince has ever married into another’s family?

Is there any need for him to say this, to confuse the prince and add fuel to the fire.

The Sixth Prince dodged to the side, avoiding the pen holder. He lowered his eyes to hide the gloom, and immediately said: "Father, this lowly person has ruined the reputation of the Crown Prince, and should be killed on the spot!"

His vicious gaze fell on Gu Changcun, and with a flash of his eyes, he pulled out the sword in the imperial guard's hand and slashed at him.

The big knife with a cold glow came chopping.

Gu Changcun's body went limp. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't move. He could only close his eyes in despair.

Clang!

He's not dead! ?

Gu Changcun opened his eyes and saw the Sixth Prince being pressed to his knees by a man in black. He looked to the side and saw the knife kicked far away.

The emperor blew his beard and glared at him, pointing at him and saying, "You dare to draw your sword in front of me. I think you don't want to kill this lowly person, you want to kill me!"

The Sixth Prince's breathing stopped for a moment.

His face was as pale as paper. "Father, I didn't. I was just angry that the lowly people were destroying the reputation of my brother, the Crown Prince, and then the reputation of my royal family."

Gu Changcun quickly said, "Your Majesty, I was ordered by someone from the Duke Zhao's Mansion!"

"If they hadn't traveled thousands of miles to Jiangnan to find me and brought me to the capital, I, a commoner, would never have been able to come to the capital, let alone know that my cousin is now the Crown Princess."

The emperor's attention was successfully diverted, and he temporarily stopped harping on the matter of the Sixth Prince drawing his sword.

"Summon Duke Zhao to the palace!"

Duke Zhao had just stepped into the imperial study and hadn't figured out anything when he was hit on the head by a flying teacup.

He subconsciously wanted to hide.

Realizing that only an emperor would dare to throw the cup, he stopped where he was and took it.

"You are so good, Duke Zhao. The prince just used too much force and broke your daughter's wrists."

"The Crown Princess only asked your legitimate daughter to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the heir to the throne. But you hold a grudge against her and hire someone to ruin the reputation of the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and the heir to the throne!"

"What are you up to?!"

The emperor attacked with a series of words. With a bang, Duke Zhao knelt down, crawled to the middle and cried out: "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

"I am loyal to the emperor and I have no second thoughts!"

"I am convinced by the punishment of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I am so happy that the Crown Prince has a successor. How dare I do something so treasonous and damaging to the dignity of the royal family?"

He had never suffered such an injustice before, and it came as a bolt from the blue and a huge blame was put on him.

Who on earth is so disgusting to harm him?

"Just because Duke Zhao doesn't have it doesn't mean Miss Zhao doesn't have it either." Gu Yunyan's soft voice floated in from outside.

As soon as the voice fell, she walked in and saluted the emperor politely.

The emperor looked at her belly with a soft gaze, and said lovingly, "Crown Princess, there is no need to bow. Please sit down. Sit down."

The chief eunuch personally moved a chair behind Gu Yunyan and thoughtfully put a cushion on the backrest.

"Please take a seat, Princess."

Gu Yunyan accepted the emperor's kindness calmly and smiled brightly: "Thank you, father."

The emperor stroked his beard cheerfully, his happiness visibly evident.

As for Pei Qinyu and Miss Zhao behind her, they ignored her. Now everyone in the palace knew about it, except the two masters, the emperor and the queen.

She, the Crown Princess with a golden nugget in her arms, is the most precious.

Miss Zhao was terrified at how the situation had turned out. Her face was filled with fear and her lips were trembling violently.

Seeing this, what else could Duke Zhao not understand?

He wished he had never given birth to her in his life. Finally, she caused such a disaster when he was about to enjoy his old age.

"Evil girl! Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake!?"

Miss Zhao suddenly woke up from her dream, knelt down on her soft knees, and said to her elder sister: "I, I, I just want people to spread the word that the Crown Princess is shameless."

"She slept with the prince before she got married, and she was secretly pregnant."

"I never thought that the situation would become so out of control. I know I was wrong. I beg the emperor to have mercy on me, the prince to have mercy on me, and the princess to have mercy on me. I will never dare to do it again!"

Her hands were still wrapped and her tears flowed like a flood.

The water flowed down her face, ruining her makeup. Her face was covered in red and white, and covered with snot. She turned her eyes away in a disgusting and ugly manner.

Gu Changcun said hurriedly: "It was Miss Zhao. The man said it was Miss Zhao's order."

A barely perceptible, smug smile flashed across the Sixth Prince's lips.

From the moment Gu Yunyan entered the imperial study, she had been watching him out of the corner of her eye, not missing the fleeting smile on his lips.

The emperor was about to make a decision.

She blinked, her almond-shaped eyes pure and clear, and said, "Father, wait a moment. The prince has found other witnesses, it would be better to wait for them to come out and identify us."

“Lest Duke Zhao and Miss Zhao think that your son, the Crown Prince, and your father are abusing their power and deliberately wronging them.”

The Sixth Prince's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Duke Zhao smiled stiffly and said repeatedly, "I dare not. Your Majesty is wise and will not wrongly accuse me."

But he also didn't say that no one could come forward to identify him.

The emperor glared at Pei Qinyu and said, "You've been the crown prince for so many years, and you still need the crown princess to remind you to release the witness. Hurry up!"

From his words, it can be seen how much he likes Gu Yunyan, his future daughter-in-law.

Gu Yunyan tilted her face up with her eyes forming crescent shapes, and was very happy to be praised.

Pei Qinyu was not angry, and he was not jealous of his Crown Princess. He just shook his head and smiled, his expression solemn: "Bring the person in."

Wu Liang pushed a thin and skinny man in.

The Sixth Prince's pupils shrank sharply and he clenched his cheeks.

He immediately looked at Pei Qinyu and realized that he had been tricked and was being lured into a trap.

As soon as he came in, he pointed at the man in the crimson brocade robe who was kneeling at the innermost corner, next to the coiled dragon pillar, and said, "It's the Sixth Prince. Miss Zhao originally only asked me to find someone to pass on some gossip."

"Someone from the Sixth Prince's Mansion came to me with five hundred taels of silver and asked me to add some more things to pass on."

Then it became the current situation.

Miss Zhao finally understood what was puzzling to her. She roared, "You greedy slave boy, you have brought this upon me. I will kill you!"

After scolding the servants, she started to scold the Sixth Prince without restraint.

"The Sixth Prince is just a show-off. He is so respectful to the Crown Prince, but he secretly does something shady—"

Duke Zhao quickly covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "Shut up!"

Didn't she know what the occasion was and where they were? It was not their turn to talk.

He expressed the thoughts of everyone present.

They were very surprised. The Sixth Prince was usually gentle and polite, and was extremely respectful to the Crown Prince. It was no exaggeration to say that he was submitting to him.

It turned out that he was the one who planned all this behind the scenes.

The Sixth Prince refused to admit it and insisted, "Father, I am innocent! Someone is framing me and wants to kill two birds with one stone."

"You want to alienate the brotherhood between me and my brother the Crown Prince, and also want to ruin my brother's reputation and make him have no successor."
