After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

"Spare my life?" Emperor Sheng had long since disliked the Gao family. "Weren't you just so bold as to threaten to kill Xingguang and the Mu family?"

"Why are you begging me here now?"

Especially in recent years, the Gao family and their descendants have done many sinister and vicious things.

He thought that letting the prince handle this matter would also be a way to train the prince.

Unexpectedly, the prince only warned the Gao family a few words and did not take any other action.

This made him very disappointed in the prince.

Gao Boxue cried so hard that his tears and snot came out, and he regretted it as much as he could.

He knew very well that the emperor favored Zheng Xingguang very much, but he still insisted on getting close to him and even said such words.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never do it again, never again!"

As long as he can survive this time, he will stay away from Zheng Xingguang and the Mu family and will not cause trouble for them again.

Emperor Sheng ordered, "Bring Gao Boxue to the Gao family and beat him to death in front of everyone in the Gao family!"

"As for the Gao family, their property should be confiscated and they should be interrogated."

"I don't want to see such a termite alive anymore!"

The prince's expression changed slightly for a moment, and he felt vaguely uneasy. Did his father mean to express his dissatisfaction with him?

He did not handle the Gao family matter well enough, but the Gao family was still his in-laws after all.

If he dealt with the Gao family decisively, it would cause many people to be dissatisfied with him, and it would also give his brothers an opportunity to take advantage of him.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Boxue had just opened his mouth when he was gagged and dragged away by the imperial guards.

Emperor Sheng frowned and glanced at the Crown Prince, his tone not too good: "Go back to your Crown Prince's Mansion, I don't want to see you now."

The prince's heart skipped a beat, and he realized more and more clearly that his father was very dissatisfied with him because of the Gao family's affairs.

"Yes, I will retire."

He bowed and retreated with his back bent.

"Uncle Emperor, there's no need to be angry about the Crown Prince." Zheng Xingguang consoled him. "It's your body that's getting angry."

Emperor Sheng rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired, "The Crown Prince is not fit for purpose."

"I gave him so many chances, but not only did he not deal with the Gao family, he also allowed them to run rampant."

Even when he was the crown prince, his maternal family did not have the courage to act like this, let alone do so many things.

Zheng Xingguang had many complaints about the prince. The prince did have certain abilities in governing the country, but he was not so good in other aspects.

Especially in terms of how the Gao family was treated, it was even more disappointing.

How could Emperor Sheng not be angry? That was the crown prince he had been cultivating for many years, the future emperor.

But who knew that it was such a temperament that really disappointed him.

Zheng Xingguang didn't know much about state affairs. He was still so young and didn't know much. It was his uncle the emperor and his father who told him.

"Uncle Emperor, now that this matter is resolved, I will take the baby out of the palace."

"Uncle Emperor, please take care of your health and be more open-minded. Your body is your own, and your happiness is your own. What's most important is that you live a happy life."

After saying that, he pulled Mu Baobao away.

Emperor Sheng watched him leave and said to Zhong Ling, "Xingguang is the one who knows how to comfort people."

Zhong Ling bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Prince Zheng is right. Your health and happiness are your own. You must pay more attention to your health."

Emperor Sheng nodded at him a few times, a smile on his face, "Indeed, I must take good care of myself."

"I want to watch Xingguang grow up and choose a wife for him in the future."

Zhong Ling said with a smile, "From my perspective, Prince Zheng probably doesn't want anyone to help him choose a wife."

"Who knows, I might have a connection with Miss Mu."

Emperor Sheng touched his chin and said, "Baby Mu's status is a bit low."

"But there's no need to rush. She's less than two years old, and her brothers are still studying. It won't be too late to make arrangements in the future."

Zhong Ling said, "I heard that although Miss Mu's brothers didn't do well in their exams, they studied very hard and have very flexible minds."

Emperor Sheng said with a hint of meaning, "Studying well is not the most important thing. Character and brains are the most important."

"If someone of that level of knowledge is good but pedantic, that's not good."

Zhong Ling did not respond. It was obvious that the emperor was planning to promote Miss Mu's brothers in the future.

As long as Miss Mu's brothers don't do things they shouldn't do and have good character and intelligence, they will have a bright future.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" At this time, Concubine Gao ran in hurriedly.

She knelt on the ground crying, "Your Majesty, please forgive the Gao family and give them a way out."

As soon as she heard that something had happened to the Gao family and the prince, she hurried out.

The Gao family cannot be destroyed, and nothing can happen to the prince.

Emperor Sheng looked down at her, his eyes devoid of warmth. "You're begging me to spare the Gao family, but do you know what Gao Boxue has done?"

When Concubine Gao heard this, she knew that Gao Boxue had done something again that implicated the crown prince, and she became even more dissatisfied with Gao Boxue and the Gao family.

"Your Majesty, Erudite is still just a child. Please forgive him this time."

After all, she is her brother and sister-in-law's favorite child, so she has to help him no matter what.

Emperor Sheng said, "You have said this many times."

"Every time Gao Boxue gets into trouble, you use this excuse."

"Could it be that children shouldn't have to bear the consequences if they do something wrong?"

Concubine Gao gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please..."

"Gao Boxue publicly threatened to beat Xingguang to death." Emperor Sheng said lightly.

Concubine Gao felt dizzy and almost fainted. Is Gao Boxue crazy?

The emperor favors Prince Zheng the most, and even the crown prince does not dare to confront Prince Zheng. How could Gao Boxue dare to do such a thing?

"Xingguang is not even six years old yet." Emperor Sheng seemed to know what she was going to say and blocked her mouth.

Concubine Gao was speechless for a moment, then said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please, for the sake of the Crown Prince..."

"I have already banned the Crown Prince from leaving the house without permission." Emperor Sheng sounded a little impatient.

Concubine Gao's heart sank, and she began to regret coming to plead for the Gao family.

If she knew that the prince was punished, she would not come to plead for the Gao family.

"Your Majesty." She called hesitantly.

Emperor Sheng issued a direct order, "Concubine Gao is immoral and is demoted to a concubine and placed under the care of the Empress!"

Concubine Gao... Gao Da Ying rolled her eyes and fainted.

Before she fainted, she deeply regretted coming to plead for the Gao family.

If she had not pleaded with the Gao family, she would not have been demoted to a concubine, and would not have been under the supervision of the queen.

Normally, the queen would give her some face.

……

Gao family.

When Gao Boxue was beaten to death by the imperial guards in front of everyone in the Gao family, everyone finally realized that the Gao family was finished.

It was originally thought that the Gao family would be able to gain greater glory and honor after the prince ascended the throne in the future by following the emperor.

The result is this.
