Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

When Gu Wen cried, the muscles and bones on her face were pulled and it hurt a lot, but she didn't care about that at the moment.

"This is my only daughter, and I've doted on her since she was little. Ever since she first met the Emperor at the palace banquet, she's been in awe of him. When I learned of this, I couldn't bear to see her begging for mercy. It just so happened that Zhaoyi's mother, Lan, had been ill recently, so I used this as a threat to her."

Gu Wen gritted her teeth and said these words as if she had made a great decision.

"But I only asked her to do her best, not to instruct her to use these methods. Perhaps she is too worried about her biological mother, so..."

"you……"

When Lady Wen heard these shameless words, she wanted to curse them, but Gu Youning grabbed her arm.

"Gu Zhaoyi, is this true?"

The Queen asked with a frown.

"I know nothing about what happened today."

Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Youning spoke in a light voice.

At this time, Cao Zhong hurried in from outside, his face looked a little bad, and he glanced at Gu Youning.

Seeing this scene, the queen's eyes moved slightly.

"Xiao Quanzi confessed that he was instructed by Concubine Gu to put aphrodisiacs in the emperor's wine cup."

As soon as Cao Zhong said this, Gu Youning instantly felt that several more eyes were on him.

"Miss Gu Si has no staff in the palace. We really need some manpower to accomplish this task. Consort Gu..."

Bang! Before Li Cairen could finish her words, a teacup fell at her feet.

The scalding tea seeped into her silk stockings, but Li Cairen's cry of pain was choked in her throat by the emperor's gloomy face, and she immediately fell to her knees.

"Your Majesty, I know that Concubine Gu is kind and pure, and it's unlikely that she would do such a thing, but the mother-daughter relationship is deep, perhaps..."

Before the Queen could finish her words, the Emperor coldly asked, "Perhaps what? The Queen is in charge of the six palaces, and she makes decisions based on hearsay."

The emperor's cold and angry gaze fell on Gu Wen's mother and daughter. "If my Zhaoyi refuses to agree to let you, this sinister mother and daughter, take the blame, are you planning to use her mother's life to force her to do so?"

The queen was about to say something but was suppressed by the emperor's words. For some reason, she felt uneasy in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I just wanted to scare Zhaoyi, not really hurt anyone. What about Lan..."

"You poisoned Consort Gu's biological mother. If Consort Gu hadn't asked my mother to secretly bring a doctor to diagnose her, Madam Lan would probably be on her last breath right now."

Wen Meiren interrupted Gu Wenshi's words angrily.

how come?

Gu Wenshi and Gu Youxin both collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with disbelief.

They only have one thought in their minds now, are they going to be finished? This obviously shouldn't be the case.

The queen looked normal, but when she saw Gu Youning standing there calmly, a chill rose in her heart.

She wasn't the foolish Gu Wen mother and daughter. Judging from the reactions of the Emperor and Gu Youning, they had clearly communicated with each other long ago. So her actions today...

"Empress, I informed the Emperor the other day that he had brought my mother into the palace for a reunion. She is now accompanying the eldest prince in Changchun Palace."

"I miss my mother so much that I broke the rules. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

At this time, Gu Youning smiled and bowed to the queen.

"Xiao Xiazi went to pick her up personally, and Madam Gu is fine."

Cao Zhong followed closely behind.

"Then I'm afraid this matter was deliberately framed by Fourth Miss Gu and Madam Gu. I didn't know that Fourth Miss Gu had this idea in mind. It was my fault for failing to notice."

The queen stood up and apologized to the emperor.

"You know a person's face but not his heart. What does this have to do with the Queen?"

To the queen's surprise, the emperor did not pursue the matter.

"Cao Zhong, expel Gu Wen and her son from the palace. Tell Gu Yuanshan that I will spare them for the sake of Concubine Gu. However, I do not want to see these two people in the capital in the future."

"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Xin'er. Please forgive her!"

When Gu Wen heard the emperor's decree, her originally confused mind suddenly became clear. The emperor did not punish them openly, but he did not allow them and their daughter to appear in the capital. She herself would only be divorced, which was fine, but Xin'er was still so young, and her life could not be ruined like this.

Even if they left the capital, Gu Youning would have plenty of opportunities to take their lives.

At least in the Gu Mansion, Gu Youning still has to take care of his father, and Xin'er may still have a future.

"Empress Zhaoyi, I beg you, I am willing to be cut into pieces, just spare Xin'er. She really knows nothing, it was all my idea."

"You are kind-hearted and will definitely forgive her, right?"

Gu Wen kept kowtowing to Gu Youning. She only wanted to keep her daughter. She had been married to Gu Yuanshan for many years, and they only had this one daughter.

Men love women's gentleness the most. She doesn't believe that in front of the emperor, Gu Youning would...

"No, I will not forgive the two people who tried to kill my mother."

Gu Youning said coldly that Gu Wenshi still wanted to control her at this time.

After saying this, she bowed to the emperor above her and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making this decision for me."

"Drag down."

As soon as Cao Zhong raised his hand, the palace maids in front of the emperor gagged Gu Wen and her daughter and took them away.

"Today, I'm sorry to Zhaoyi. The promotion banquet turned out to be..."

The sobbing of Gu Wen's mother and daughter gradually died down. The Queen was trying to say a few words of comfort to Gu Youning with a gentle expression when a scream was heard in the room.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

The queen glanced at Concubine Shen who was lying on the palace maid, and her eyes instantly became stern.

She had just winked at Zhichun to give up her original plan.

She originally thought that even if Gu Youxin's plan failed, and even if Gu Youning could get away with the emperor's trust, as long as the murder of the royal heir was added, even if the emperor protected him, the Zheng family would regard Gu Youning as their mortal enemy.

But she just noticed that there was something wrong with the emperor's attitude today, and she instinctively felt that this could no longer be done.

But why did Shen Jieyu still get into trouble?

"What are you still standing there for? Call the imperial physician."

When Concubine Zheng saw the bloodstains on her concubine's sister's cloak, her voice changed.

"Zhao Qing."

The emperor was also shocked and stood up.

"Yes."

Although Zhao Yuanshi was not proficient in gynecology, he was still able to take the pulse.

"Don't touch Jieyu's body."

Zhao Qing stopped the palace maid from Cheng'an Palace who was about to take people away, and knelt on the ground to feel the pulse of Concubine Shen, who was so painful that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

"Envoy Zhao, is the dragon fetus safe?"

Concubine Zheng asked impatiently.

The death of the concubine sister is not a pity, but the dragon fetus must not be harmed.

But all he got was Zhao Qing shaking his head.

"Concubine Shen's dragon fetus is gone."
