Chapter 308
“Your dog?” Gu Zezhi looked at her with a smile as he gave the puppy in his hand to Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu shook her head. “It’s aunt’s dog.”
She carefully held the white dumpling in her arms and stroked its round head. The white dumpling squinted, feeling exhilarated, and pressed its head against her palm even more.
“Brother, are you coming here to visit the emperor?” Qin Jiu stroked the white dumpling’s head again as she continued, “Why did the emperor suddenly get sick?”
“The emperor is ill with anger.” Gu Zezhi said.
The spring breeze in March was warm, and the imperial garden was full of flowers, but Qin Jiu was not interested in appreciating it. She instead slightly widened her eyes in shock.
Gu Zezhi continued: “During the early court yesterday when the emperor proposed to establish the sixth prince as the crown prince, the courtiers raised objections one after another. Some objections were justified, but there were also deliberate and arbitrary.”
Gu Zezhi knew in his heart that most of the courtiers who objected and causes trouble were Gu Jing’s people. To put it bluntly, they wanted to deliberately interfere with the establishment of the crown prince, after all, Gu Jing now made a big mistake and was also grounded by the emperor making him unable to compete with Gu Zhen for the title.
“Just because of this?” Qin Jiu’s big, beautiful eyes were as deep as an ink pool.
It couldn’t be that this was the only reason.
The emperor has a good temper, so how could he get angry to the point of getting ill just because the courtiers oppose his notion.
In the spring breeze, the willow branches along the lakeside move with the wind, gently plucking the lake surface, and ripples appeared on the clear and mirror-like lake surface layer upon layer…
Gu Zezhi shook his head, “No.”
“The emperor knew a long time ago that making the sixth prince the crown prince, the courtiers will certainly have opposition, this matter will just slowly grind its way.”
Qin Jiu held the white dumpling in one hand, and slowly stroked it with the other as she thinks about it too, the emperor was the son of heaven, if he wants to establish someone who could stop him.
AD
Even if these courtiers were opposed today, what about a month later, six months later, or even a year later?
As long as the emperor’s will was firm, no matter how fierce the opposition was, it was nothing more than just hitting the pillar. That’s what happens in TV dramas!
Gu Ze said, “It was Wang Yu’s letter.”
Qin Jiu: “?”
Qin Jiu has not been in the capital for less than half a year so she still hasn’t figured out so many noble clans and courtiers in the capital. She only vaguely feels that they sound familiar, and blankly blinks her eyes as she tries to search for the said person in her memory.
Gu Zezhi could tell that Qin Jiu didn’t know Wang Yu at all, the corner of his lips curled up, and said, “Wang Yu is the emperor’s younger brother, the ninth son of the late emperor, and also his most beloved son.”
“It was because of Wang Yu that the late emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince several times, but your grandfather disrupted the situation so the crown prince was not abolished but was imprisoned instead by the late emperor. Before the late emperor died, he left an edict saying that Wang Yu’s title will be hereditary and will never be demoted, and Wang Yu shall have his residence in Yuzhou forever.”
“After the emperor ascended to the throne, Wang Yu went to Yuzhou, and he is also the only one among the former emperor’s princes who has a fief.”
“Over the years, Wang Yu has been quiet, but yesterday he suddenly sent a letter saying that Princess Yongle is dead…”
“Princess Yongle is the emperor’s full-blooded sister, when the late emperor was still in reign he married her to Wang Yu’s cousin, his mother’s side in Dongping County, and later lived in the fiefdom of Wang Yu…Princess Yongle is only thirty-eight years old this year.”
When the late emperor was alive, he favored Imperial Concubine Fang Shu and even favored the ninth son born by the imperial concubine. Back then, Imperial Concubine Fang Shu proposed marriage for Yongle to her nephew, and later was forced by the late emperor’s edict.
The emperor and Yongle were close siblings, so when the emperor heard the news of his eldest sister’s death, the emperor had an anger attack.
“Ah!” Qin Jiu suddenly gave a low cry and her hand stroking the little dumpling stopped.
Gu Zezhi: “?”
Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Jiu as the spring sun shone softly on his body sprinkled on a delicate jade statue, graceful and dignified.
Qin Jiu’s eyes slightly widened and her pupils were particularly deep as she finally remembered who Wang Yu was.
At the beginning, the novel “Beauty in Prosperous Times” was only read casually by Qin Xuan as a mindless essay, and it was a long story with millions of words. When she read it, she could read everything at a glance, and she was completely brainless. Many plots and characters had been forgotten. Until now, Gu Zezhi mentioned it, she remembered such a person——
Wang Yu.
In the novel, Gu Zezhi died at the hands of Wang Yu.
Qin Jiu: “!”
Qin Jiu’s eyes widened and looked up at Gu Zezhi’s face.
The plot of the novel was all concentrated on the hero and heroine. From the perspective of the hero and heroine, Gu Zezhi was a vicious villain boss, but Qin Jiu knows he was not! Moreover, with Gu Zezhi’s brain, he would not let himself die and eight out of ten he had something on his sleeves.
Even her, the cannon fodder vicious female supporting character manages to escape from the clutches of the plot and survive, she mustn’t let her golden thighs die!
