Zhu Dutong's eyes flashed with haze. He had underestimated this useless eldest lady of the Gu family. At this moment, every word he said was clearly aimed at him.
This means that Jinyao was seriously injured because of her lack of strength and she couldn't blame the other party, but here he is using this matter to excuse her!
Comparing the two sides, he appears to be a petty person, while the Duke of Zhenguo appears to be humble and generous!
Concubine Wan's eyes swept between the third prince and the empress, and then looked at the stunning Gu Niansheng. She suddenly understood. She didn't expect that this charming girl refused the third prince's engagement and even fell into the eyes of the sixth prince.
?
What coincidence?
This is clearly the Sixth Prince who came with the Queen’s help!
Fortunately, the Third Prince and Concubine Liu are here too. Concubine Liu has always disliked Gu Niansheng before and is unhappy whenever she mentions it. Now that Gu Niansheng has broken off their engagement, she must not be here to help today.
Concubine Liu Guifei was shocked when she saw Gu Niansheng. The last time she saw her, she realized that this girl was not as bad as she thought. When she saw her today, she felt that she was indeed the daughter of the most beautiful woman. She could be said to be better than her daughter.
Before Qingming, every time he mentioned Nian Sheng, he had an unhappy look on his face. This time, he came here specially after hearing the news about her entering the palace. This...
Concubine Wan noticed the strange look in Concubine Liu's eyes and became more and more sure of her suspicion.
"Miss Gu is really beautiful. She is very distressed when she is sick. Why don't you go back and rest early." Concubine Wan said pretending to be caring.
Concubine Liu frowned slightly. Since Gu Niansheng's appearance was not ruined, why did she break off the engagement?
Even Qin Minglang couldn't understand this.
At this time, Gu Niansheng suddenly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, my daughter and my father have come to the palace to confess their sins."
Zhu Dutong and Concubine Wan would not let this go. If she had said it herself, they would have lost their leverage.
"Oh?" The emperor said calmly: "What crime is there?"
"My daughter's appearance was completely disfigured before. I definitely did not hide it deliberately. It was only recently that I discovered that the disfigurement was not caused by nature, but was caused by poisoning."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed surprise.
Since the Duke of Zhen Guo found his daughter, he has always dressed very strangely. He rarely leaves the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and every time he goes out, he will inevitably arouse everyone's ridicule.
That messy and sloppy appearance has long been ingrained in everyone's minds. It wasn't until Zhu Jinyao made a fuss later that everyone realized that she dressed weirdly to cover up her ugly appearance, but it was still a joke!
Now the idea of poisoning is completely different!
"The poison my daughter was poisoned by is extremely rare. My parents didn't find it out before because they hired a doctor. It wasn't until I met the King of Zhenbei a few days ago that he revealed the truth, and my daughter knew it was caused by poisoning."
"King of Zhenbei?" the emperor asked in surprise.
"The King of Zhenbei is really a good man. He saw through the poisoning of his daughter and helped her, so that her poison was released."
Gu Niansheng's eyebrows were filled with emotion, and she was filled with infinite gratitude to King Zhenbei.
However, the expressions of other people present were slightly strange. They all knew the character of King Zhenbei. He had always been cold and indifferent, so the possibility of him helping someone was really slim.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a god of death, but as for a good guy... this is a relationship that cannot be fought with eight poles, right?
Qin Minglang couldn't help but remember that he saw King Zhenbei and Nian Sheng walking together in the restaurant before. At that time, Nian Sheng just said that they had something to talk about. He always thought it was nonsense. Now that they were connected, he understood.
It must be for detoxification, otherwise these two unrelated people would never have met!
