Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers
Chapter 117 The Concubine's Daughter Climbing into Bed (9)
As soon as he returned to Beijing, he was filled with frustration.
The expressions of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were almost the same at this moment, both were extremely shocked and angry towards Du Shaoyu.
"What did you say? You helped the eldest daughter of the Gu family escape from the Gu family, and even dragged her own brother into it?"
"You bastard!"
"What a sin!"
The Queen Mother looked at the little bit of Gu Shutang's skirt that was exposed, which was completely blocked by Du Shaoyu, and felt that she must have been forced by her bastard son to sever ties with her family.
Gu Shutang hid her eyes. She remembered that in the original plot, Prince Jin was quite knowledgeable about spices. Moreover, he had lived a second life and had the memories of his past life. Why would he go against his usual behavior and protect her for the first time?
Gu Shutang became secretly alert in her heart. When the empress dowager and the emperor looked at her, she lowered her eyes and acted like a lady from a noble family.
Du Shaoyu held back Gu Shutang who was about to speak, "Mother, it was all because of my son's loss of vigilance that I was harmed by the traitor, and that's why Miss Gu was implicated."
"It's rare for me to meet a woman I don't dislike. Miss Gu might already be pregnant with my child. I want the best for the child and don't want it to suffer any injustice."
Du Shaoyu recalled that in his previous life, Gu Shutang used such sophistry to make the empress dowager give in and send her to Prince Jin's Mansion. He imitated Gu Shutang's words in his previous life and wanted to convince the empress dowager.
"Emperor, now that things have come to this, let's grant their wish."
The Queen Mother sighed and finally succumbed to her son's eager eyes.
Her troublesome little son finally agreed to get married after being stubborn for so long, and now he has made the girl unable to return home.
If they were not allowed to be together, and if this poor son changed his mind and was unwilling to get married, not only would his lifelong affairs be uncertain, but the girl would also suffer.
"Just as the Queen Mother said."
His good brother has cut off the girl's future. If he doesn't marry her, the emperor thinks he will see a group of censors impeaching Prince Jin tomorrow.
"Since Shao Yu is willing to get married, why not take advantage of this opportunity to arrange the selection of a concubine as well."
"Royal brother, what is the purpose of the concubine coming? My family does not have much property. It is just enough to support a princess and a child. I can't afford to support more than that."
"If you don't want a concubine, how about a maid?" The emperor resisted the urge to teach his foolish brother a lesson. He took a step back and glanced at Gu Shutang who remained silent.
It was still not enough for Du Shaoyu to have only Gu by his side. He was much older than his younger brother, so he was almost raised as his own son.
Naturally, I hope my younger brother will have children soon.
"I don't want any concubines. The princess might be pregnant with your nephew. If you grant her a concubine at this time, if there are people with evil intentions, they might attack your nephew. It will be hard to guard against them."
Du Shaoyu looked at his younger brother, who had become much younger. Since he had been detoxified and was no longer affected by the poison from his previous life, he did not dislike his brother as much as he did in his previous life.
He refuted the emperor in a light-hearted tone. The emperor had not yet been disappointed by his poisoning and was still a good brother with a kind father's heart.
Du Shaoyu was too tired from fighting for power in his previous life. Not only did he lose his family and wife, but he also implicated all his friends and subordinates. He didn't want to live that kind of life again.
"Could you bear to see my soon-to-be child suffer?"
Gu Shutang hid behind Du Shaoyu. After hearing what Du Shaoyu said, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. This seemed like the reason why the original owner asked the Queen Mother for help in the previous life.
Being forced into this situation by Du Shaoyu, Gu Shutang felt that Du Shaoyu's image in her heart was shattered. He did not look like the Prince of Jin who had fought on the battlefield for many years and had his eyes on the throne, but more like a street scoundrel.
She hid her disgusted look very well and no one noticed it, but she accidentally touched Du Shaoyu's back, which was so hard that tears came to her eyes.
The forehead that touched Du Shaoyu's back was already red.
Du Shaoyu was originally trying his best to persuade his royal brother, but when he heard Gu Shutang's suppressed groan and thought of the soft touch on his back just now, he suddenly stopped talking and turned around to look at Gu Shutang.
Seeing that she was fine, except for a red forehead, he turned back as if nothing had happened, rubbed her forehead again, and continued talking to the emperor.
At this moment, he completely forgot the thought of hugging Gu Shutang with revenge when he was reborn. He originally just wanted to treat her as a decoration, but unknowingly he was fighting for more for her.
He even subconsciously wanted to secretly eliminate all threats for her.
The emperor looked at Du Shaoyu's little action in silence, and waved his hand, unwilling to mention the matter of taking a concubine again.
He looked behind Du Shaoyu with some suspicion. Why was Du Shaoyu so sure that Gu was pregnant with his child?
Could it be that Gu was already pregnant? The emperor's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot when he thought about the month when the woman could feel the pulse and the time when his brother would return.
"Shao Yu, why are you so sure that Gu already has a child? Is she pregnant right now?"
If this is true, wouldn't it be like treating Du Shaoyu as a fool, giving someone else's child to Du Shaoyu and confusing the royal bloodline?
He would never allow such a woman to stay with Du Shaoyu, even if she was his concubine.
However, the emperor was speechless as he looked at Du Shaoyu with obvious disgust in his eyes. His brother was so stupid, but in less than a day, he was coaxed by Gu into being willing to raise an adulterer and have a child for her.
"Royal brother, what are you thinking? The princess and I have known each other for less than a day, and I was a virgin before today. Royal brother, please don't tarnish the princess's reputation."
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Du Shaoyu still emphasized it again for Gu Shutang's reputation.
However, as soon as she was promised the marriage, she kept calling the emperor "Princess". The emperor felt that after Du Shaoyu had been away for so many years, not only her appearance had changed, but her temperament had also changed.
When Du Shaoyu was in the capital before, he had never seen Du Shaoyu be so protective and close to anyone other than him and his mother. The emperor felt inexplicably melancholy.
"Then why do you keep calling me child?"
Du Shaoyu said confidently, "The princess and I are not just a couple in name only. Even if you didn't get pregnant this time, it was only a matter of time. Why are you not allowing me to think about having a child sooner rather than later?"
The emperor was speechless for a moment. Thinking of his previous suspicion that Gu Shutang had no chance with him, he felt a little guilty for the first time. He took the initiative to say, "Miss Gu, since you have left the Gu family, how about I find a reliable father for you?"
Find a family that is a good match for Prince Jin to adopt Gu as their daughter, which will look better.
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
Gu Shutang had no special feelings for the Gu family, and accepted the emperor's kindness naturally.
"Your biological mother and brother left the Gu Mansion together?"
The emperor asked Gu Shutang about the situation.
"Yes, fortunately, His Highness took them in. They are both temporarily staying in the Prince of Jin's Mansion."
