Chapter 99 Gu Junze wants to divorce her?

The prince stepped in and saw that the imperial study was in a mess, with the four treasures of the study rolled to the side.

The Royal Guards were on high alert, and the three ministers were frightened like quails.

I felt a chill running down my spine and my scalp went numb.

He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter. If his mother hadn't asked him to come here, he wouldn't have made this trip at all.

Taking a deep breath, the prince suppressed his inner uneasiness, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Father..."

However, before he could finish his words, a cold decree exploded in his ears like thunder.

"Imprison the prince in the Eastern Palace. He is not allowed to take a single step out without my order!" The emperor's voice was as cold as ice.

The prince looked up in astonishment and wanted to explain, but he only saw the emperor's gloomy face, as if covered with a layer of frost, which made him shudder. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were instantly swallowed back in fear.

After the Rebellion of the Five Kings, the country was recuperating and the people needed a benevolent crown prince, but the imperial power could not tolerate an emperor who could not distinguish right from wrong.

Before the prince could recover from this sudden blow, another imperial decree came. The queen had lived in the deep palace for a long time and had poor morals, so she was confined to the palace and was not allowed to go out without being summoned.

Immediately afterwards, the three most important ministers were also directly imprisoned.

For a moment, the entire court was enveloped in an atmosphere of oppression and fear. Everyone knew that the emperor was truly furious this time.

There are rumors circulating in the court. I'm afraid the Emperor is considering deposing the Crown Prince...

"The Marquis has been imprisoned. What should we do?" Aunt Zhao was so panicked when she heard the news that she came to Chu Ruohan to discuss the matter.

Chu Ruohan calmly poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. "The Emperor has only locked up my father-in-law. Aunt Zhao can just take care of the house. Our Anyang Marquis Mansion is the one that suffered the most in this matter. The Emperor won't blame us too much."

The current emperor is a shrewd and wise man, not to mention that there is the empress dowager in the palace.

Only then did Aunt Zhao feel relieved, and she also felt that she had been worrying too much.

Sure enough, within two days, Marquis Anyang was released. With the emperor's approval, he wrote a letter of divorce for Gu Cheng'an.

She was a princess of the royal family, but she was the first one to be divorced in this dynasty.

In order to make amends to the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, the emperor even promised that if Gu Cheng'an fell in love with a noble lady in the future, he would issue an imperial decree to grant them a marriage.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion was deprived of its hereditary status. Previously, Wei Qiming was only dismissed from his position as the crown prince, but this time he was really demoted to a commoner.

Duke Wei originally wanted to marry the princess to his son. After all, the two of them already had a child, so they could just get married. It would also look better on both families and avoid making things too awkward.

But Prince Yong was unwilling. It was just a child, wasn't it? His Prince Yong's Mansion could afford to raise him.

His precious daughter must not marry that scumbag in such a way that she feels wronged.

This time, the emperor had no intention of letting Wei Qiming go. Instead, he ordered him to be exiled to Pingzhou, a bitterly cold place covered with ice and snow all year round.

The Duke of Wei and his wife knelt until their knees were almost broken, but the emperor did not revoke his order.

Not only that, the queen and the prince were not pardoned, and the emperor also wanted to punish them.

The ruler is the ruler, and the minister is always the minister...

After Gu Chengyan was released from prison, Marquis Anyang sent him directly to the Baima Academy.

Although he did nothing wrong in this matter, his methods were somewhat insidious and hurt the reputation of several families.

Marquis Anyang was afraid that the two families would retaliate later, so he sent the person away and secretly sent people to protect him.

In his opinion, Gu Cheng'an was already useless, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion would have to be supported by Gu Chengyan in the future.

The autumn examination is coming soon. If Gu Chengyan can pass it, it will truly bring honor to the family.

Chu Ruohan just curled his lips slightly. In this life, Gu Chengyan still wanted to be a juren, a jinshi, and a top three, to be honored and successfully inherit the title.

No way.

Although Baima Academy is one of the top universities and provides talents to the imperial court every year, it cannot do without the financial support of her Chu family.

Money can buy you all the money in this world.

Gu Chengyan, she will send someone to entertain him well...

Her younger brother Chu Chenyu, on the other hand, had studied hard since childhood and was ambitious, but unfortunately, due to his status as a monk and businessman, he was not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations.

Now, Chu's father is a Yuanwailang, and his status is different from before, so Chu Chenyu is naturally qualified to take the exam.

The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting patches of light on the floor of Gu's study.

Chu Ruohan was dressed in a plain silk dress, her steps light yet anxious. She remembered that Gu Junze had a few rare and precious books in his study, which she could give to Chen Yu.

She raised her hand and gently pushed open the study door.

The door hinge turned, making a slight creaking sound. Gu Junze was sitting at his desk, his brow furrowed, his eyes staring deep ahead.

Hearing the sound, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Ruohan, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Then all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined together, and his expression was unpredictable, which made Chu Ruohan a little confused for a moment.

Before Chu Ruohan could explain her purpose.

Gu Junze slowly reached out his hand, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the drawer of the desk, and handed it to Chu Ruohan. His hand was trembling slightly.

Chu Ruohan was full of doubts and took it subconsciously. When she unfolded it, the three big words "Divorce Letter" on it stung her eyes.

Doctor Qian has tried every possible method, but Gu Junze's leg still shows no signs of improvement. He doesn't want to delay Chu Ruohan's life.

There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes, and every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from the deepest part of his heart.

Chu Ruohan tightly grasped the divorce agreement in her hand. She stared at Gu Junze with disbelief in her eyes. Then, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You want to divorce me?"

"No, it's divorce." Gu Junze uttered these words with difficulty.

Chu Ruohan handled the matter of Lin Xingyao very beautifully and without a single mistake.

Since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, no matter what kind of difficult problems she encountered, she was able to resolve them one by one with her own intelligence and courage.

She is independent, tough and self-reliant, different from ordinary women.

Gu Junze felt deeply that she did not need his protection, and she could live more freely without him.

This was the best choice for her, even though it filled his heart with reluctance and bitterness.

Chu Ruohan didn't say another word. In front of Gu Junze, she exerted force with both hands, and with a "hiss", the divorce letter was torn into two halves, followed by countless fragments falling to the ground.

"In my life, I can only lose my husband, not get divorced." After saying this, she turned and walked towards the bookshelf in the study.

After finding those rare books by famous authors, she picked them up and walked towards the door without looking back.

Gu Junze, who was sitting in front of the desk, seemed to have used up all his strength and slowly loosened his clenched hands the moment Chu Ruohan turned around.

His palms were sweaty, leaving obvious water stains on the table.

He looked at Chu Ruohan's departing back, then looked down at the debris on the ground, feeling mixed emotions.

If Chu Ruohan really took the divorce papers and left, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him.

He silently said in his heart: With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

In his dark life, Chu Ruohan was the light that illuminated and saved him, but he almost pushed this light away with his own hands.
