Qin Jiyan summoned the fifth prince into the palace not to humiliate Concubine Gu, but to warn Concubine Gu to calm down, otherwise the fifth prince would be the unlucky one.
A daughter is a mother who is strong. Concubine Gu is not a good daughter, a good wife, or a good elder, but she is definitely a good mother. She truly loves the fifth prince and is willing to do anything for the fifth prince.
When the throne was uncertain and the fifth prince had no chance of being crowned heir apparent, Concubine Gu did not hesitate to show shame for the fifth prince and went to please the concubine who was far less favored than her.
Concubine Shu and others just hope that after King Zhao, King Zhou and others come to power, they can treat the fifth prince better.
When Concubine Gu was in power, she was able to bring shame to the fifth prince. Now that she has lost her power and is unable to protect the fifth prince, how could Concubine Gu dare to offend Qin Jiyan?
After hearing Qin Jiyan's words, Concubine Gu's face turned pale and she collapsed on the ground with a look of despair...
"Your Majesty..." She was complaining and weeping, and like a dying patient, Gu Guifei looked at the Supreme Emperor in despair and hope, hoping that the Supreme Emperor could help her out of their past friendship, and after all, she had attracted Gu Qiancheng.
It was the Emperor's idea, wasn't it?
But……
The Supreme Emperor was still pretending to be asleep, closing his eyes as if he hadn't heard anything. He was so cold and cold that it made people feel chilling.
Qin Jiyan shook his head and sighed...
His imperial grandfather was such a person, passionate but ruthless. No matter whether it was his favorite son, grandson or concubine, once they threatened his interests, they would all be abandoned. Just like his father, the fifth prince, and so on.
Like him...
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Gu looked at the Supreme Emperor in tears. The light and hope in her eyes gradually faded, turning into despair and hatred.
She has been with the Supreme Emperor for many years, so she naturally knows the selfish nature of the Supreme Emperor, but she always thinks that... she is still different. After all, she made such a big mistake back then, and the Supreme Emperor didn't kill her, right?
Moreover, she was also working for the Supreme Emperor this time. Now something happened and she was caught by the Emperor. Even if the Supreme Emperor did not protect her, he should not have given up so completely!
From now on, from now on... who else will dare to serve the Supreme Emperor?
Concubine Gu had tears on her face, sad and desperate, but... no one cared.
The fifth prince looked blank. Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were like outsiders, watching this scene indifferently and distantly. It wasn't until Concubine Gu's mood calmed down that Qin Jiyan said coldly: "Concubine Gu, my patience is limited.
If you don’t want Prince Zhongshun to guard the imperial mausoleum, you’d better tell everything that happened back then. Don’t try to deceive me or fool me. You should know what I am capable of and verify whether what you say is true or not.
, it’s not too difficult.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Gu closed her eyes and buried all the sadness and despair in her heart.
She was an abandoned child who was thrown away after being used by the Supreme Emperor, and no one could help her.
Concubine Gu took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and said, "Before I speak, can I ask your Majesty for something?" Concubine Gu looked up at Qin Jiyan, then glanced at the fifth prince.
Yu, and Qin Jiyan did not disappoint her, nodding and saying: "No matter what happens, I will not kill him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Gu bowed her hands and bowed to the end, her movements pious and solemn.
She believed in Qin Jiyan, and believed that Qin Jiyan was different from the Supreme Emperor, at least he would not keep his word.
After receiving Qin Jiyan's promise, Concubine Gu recounted what happened that year...
At that time, Concubine Gu fell in love with the prince but could not get it. In the end, she had to seduce the emperor and use her beauty to enter the palace. She even relied on her own favor to blow her pillow and let the emperor order Wu Yun to enter the Gu family.
"I didn't know at the time that Wu Yun liked the old owner of Jingzhuang. At that time, the old owner of Jingzhuang went in and out with the prince. The prince often went to see Wu Yun, so I thought the prince liked Wu Yun." Gu Guifei did not regret it.
She asked the Supreme Emperor to point out Wu Yun to the Gu family. What she regretted was that she did not stop Yun Ran, so that the prince would never have a princess.
"Wu Yun didn't know that I was responsible for this, and she kept helping me later. The Wu family is the emperor's confidant, and Wu Yun has a few useful people around her. I told her several times that I was framed in the palace.
, Wu Yun lent me the person."
"I didn't know what the Wu family did at that time. I only knew that the Wu family was very useful. With Wu Yun's help, I was like a fish in water in the harem. Not only was no one able to frame me, I could also suppress the concubines who competed with me for favor.
Go down."
"I like the prince, but not many people know about it. Apart from Wu Yun, only a few confidants around me know about it. One year, the Supreme Emperor entertained a banquet in the palace. I was already the favorite concubine at that time, sitting on the throne of the Supreme Emperor.
Beside me, I was chatting, laughing and having fun with the Crown Prince. But no one knew that that night, I only had eyes for the Crown Prince.
"The prince left the table in the middle of the banquet. I saw it immediately, and then left the table early on the pretext of being respectful. I followed behind the prince quietly and found that the prince had been drugged. Several eunuchs quietly carried the prince to the Chuxiu Palace.
"
"I followed behind and sneaked into the Chuxiu Palace after the eunuch left. I found that several beautiful ladies had been drugged, and they were naked and lying on the bed with the prince. I knew that something was wrong, so I asked my confidants to take care of them.
The prince was quietly carried to my palace, and then someone pretended to be the prince and pretended to leave the palace. After doing all this, I returned to the Supreme Emperor."
"Not long after the prince left, the Supreme Emperor was led to the Chuxiu Palace. I accompanied the Supreme Emperor there at the time. When the Supreme Emperor saw several beautiful ladies lying on the bed, his face turned as black as coal. Without asking anything, he directly asked people to
Several beautiful girls were put to death, and even though the nuns in the palace were sure that they were still virgins, the Supreme Emperor still put them to death."
"When the Emperor returned to the banquet, he asked someone to see who was not at the banquet. When they found that the prince had not come back, they sent people to look for him... Fortunately, they found the record of the prince leaving the palace, and there were guards who could confirm that the prince had indeed left the palace.
The palace is over."
"This matter just went away. The Supreme Emperor ended the banquet hastily and did not go to the harem. Instead, he rested alone in Yong'an Palace. And I returned to my palace. I was..." Gu Guifei paused for a moment, feeling bitter.
And sweetly said: "I took care of the prince all night. A month later, I found out that I was pregnant. The time was exactly one month. I thought I had concealed this matter well, but I let the person Wu Yun gave me know.
In order to keep this secret, I have to kill Wu Yun!"
After the last word fell, the whole palace fell silent. The fifth prince looked at Concubine Gu with a shocked expression. Even the Supreme Emperor, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes. His old face was twisted and ferocious, and he said "ho ho..."
"roar!
However, Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan were very calm, as if Concubine Gu had not said anything...
