Chapter 780: Last Words

"Gu Chengyuan, why are you doing this?"

Wei Yanran's face was full of puzzlement, the emperor no longer planned to deal with King An, why did he toss such a big move and beg for death?

"Why? Wei Yanran, you actually asked me why? My Anwang Mansion was once famous, and there were many guests like stars. But once he lost power, even the maids at home had to redeem themselves and leave. Is there still a place for me in this huge imperial city? The emperor really doesn't dispose of me now, can I do it later? He will do everything he can to demote me to a fiefdom, and when that time comes, what face will I have to see my mother? Ahemβ€”"

When Gu Chengyuan's words came to this, a mouthful of blood coughed out.

He slid down the pillars under the porch and sat down on the ground.

"You want me to survive in the shadow of Gu Chengyu? That's impossible! Even if I die, I will die in this imperial city as a prince! Only then will I have the face to see my mother, and I will be able to give an account to my dead brothers! Today, your Yasukuni Mansion was pulled into the water by me, so I should regard it as what I Gu Chengyuan owes you. Wei Yanran, the sky is almost dawn, as long as the sun rises tomorrow, the matter of you leading your troops to break into the palace will reach the ears of the emperor. When that time comes...... Ahem. ”

Qin Yenan didn't bother to continue listening to his nonsense, and the long sword in his hand was directly against his neck.

"Where's my son?"

"Ahem, your son is naturally in the Guogong Mansion, but now it is more exposed, you naturally can't find it, and when he wakes up, you will naturally see it."

When Gu Chengyuan said this, his eyes fell on Wei Yanran's body, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but finally closed his mouth.

"Let's go, when it's dawn, you won't be able to go."

Wei Yanran didn't quite understand Gu Chengyuan's approach, but looking at the white belly of the fish that had lit up in the east, she could only leave first with the people from the Guogong Mansion.

And by this time, the emperor had already gotten the news.

After he knew about this, he sat on the couch and was silent for a long time.

The father-in-law of the chief steward on the side looked at the emperor, kneeling on the ground, sweating like rain.

"Your Majesty, let's send someone over now, maybe His Royal Highness King An can save ......"

The emperor didn't speak, he slowly closed his eyes, thinking back to what had happened between him and Gu Chengyuan for so many years, and his hand that had been rubbing the edge of the bed finally stopped.

"I and King An, I haven't seen each other for a long time, right? On that day, he led his troops into the palace, I still remember when his mother just died, he was so old, he couldn't even say a word clearly, you said that after so many years, did I treat him too harshly? ”

"Your Majesty, as a monarch's father, takes the world as his own responsibility, and loves the people like a son, His Royal Highness King An will understand His Majesty's hard work."

The father-in-law of the chief steward stammered these words, and beads of sweat fell to the ground, so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.

The emperor's words are equivalent to announcing the death of King An.

There is no emperor in the world who is so kind that he is indifferent when someone threatens his throne.

Maybe he has been unwilling to deal with Gu Chengyuan, waiting for Gu Chengyuan to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

Maybe......

Who can guess this emperor's heart?

At the same time, Grandpa Guo, who had returned to the Guogong Mansion before, was pacing in his courtyard with a sad face.

The movement of King An's Mansion was particularly clear in the middle of the night.

All the houses around the palace were closed, and no one was willing to wade into this troubled water.

Thinking of what the emperor said before, Grandpa Guo only felt a chill in his back.

And at this moment, Wei Yanran and Qin Yenan had already returned to the palace with everyone.

She looked at Ouyang Xian standing at the door, nodded at him and thanked him.

"Ouyang Xian, thank you for this incident, but the next thing, your family should not be mixed up anymore, I will send someone to escort Mu Hibiscus back later, you directly lead the troops back to the house, if someone asks, directly put today's is all on the head of our husband and wife, just treat yourself as if you have never been to King An's Mansion."

Ouyang Xian smiled bitterly after hearing this, and was about to refuse directly.

"Princess, what you said is out of sight, this ......"

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Yenan.

"This time, the emperor will inevitably suppress the Yasukuni Mansion, for so many years, the Yasukuni Mansion is like a stubborn stone embedded in his heart, he can't move, but tonight's matter, the old emperor will inevitably pursue it, it is not easy for your family to get to this day, don't let us and my wife suffer, let's go first."

When Qin Yenan said this, he slapped Ouyang Xian's shoulder twice.

And Mu Hibiscus, who had been taking care of the old lady in the backyard, came directly to the door after hearing that everyone was back.

Listening to Qin Yenan and Wei Yanran's words, he walked in front of Ouyang Xian.

"Sister Yanran, Shizi, if today's matter needs witnesses, it is incumbent on the people in our house, if it is still early today, our husband and wife can stay and help, and my sister and Shizi don't have to see each other like this."

Hibiscus has always been stubborn, and as soon as these words came out, Wei Yanran knew that this girl would definitely get involved.

She sighed, shook her head, and directly ordered the eviction.

"Hibiscus, you have tried your best to help with the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, and you can't help with the next things, the most important thing now is that you hurry back to the house, don't entangle too much here and make people suspicious, go back quickly."

"Sister......

Mu Hibiscus was about to speak again, but was stopped by Ouyang Xian.

He pulled the hibiscus and whispered. "Let's go, let's go back first, and then think about it in the long run."

After Mu Hibiscus and Ouyang Xian left, Grandpa Guo, who had been waiting in the courtyard, stepped forward and said the conditions proposed by the emperor.

"Your Majesty already knows about this matter, and he is not ready to inquire about the fate of King An, but there is one condition, he hopes that the people of our Yasukuni Mansion will no longer join the scholars from now on, and it is best not to ask about the affairs of the court......"

Qin Yenan smiled when he heard this.

"But what difference does it make? King An and King Yong stepped down, and the throne was naturally Gu Chengyu's, and when he ascended to the throne, the old emperor's words would be counted? ”

"Your Majesty just wants to save face for yourself before abdicating, since he wants to do this, then we will follow his wishes, more things are better than less things, and the future affairs of King An's Mansion have to be handled by Your Majesty."

After Wei Yanran finished saying these words beside her, she saw Qingzhi running over while crying.

"Princess! Shizi! The little master has found it! ”

Wei Yanran's face was overjoyed, "Xiao'er found it?" Where is he? ”

"The little master was hidden in the rockery in the backyard, he should have been fed the medicine, and now the effect of the medicine has passed, and when he woke up, he found himself crying on the rockery, and he was rescued after being bumped into by the patrolling family, and now he is with the old lady."

Aoeda said, a smile on her face.

"The old lady is awake too?" Grandpa Guo was overjoyed.

"The old lady hasn't woken up yet, but the slave maid is worried that something will happen if she leaves the little young master in the yard, so she will send the little master over for resettlement and then come over to report it."
