Chapter 36

Ye Bojian was very scared. He was

also very embarrassed.

When the emperor bestowed the plaque of Cheng'en Hou on him, he felt like he was slapped hard in the face.

His Majesty was reminding him to be "grateful".

It can be said that everything Ye Bojian has now is because he married Gu Rong.

That's why he bestowed the title of Cheng'en Hou on him.

Ye Bojian knew in his heart who he was being favored by!

When the first empress died, there were more than two years of darkest moments in the imperial city.

At that stage, Xiao Ci was a complete lunatic.

A lunatic who had lost his mind.

No one dared to provoke him.

The incident of Gu Rong happened just during that time.

Xiao Ci was full of the death of the empress. He didn't believe that the empress was dead, and he wanted to find a capable sorcerer to resurrect the empress.

He didn't care about anything except things related to the Empress.

The Empress was Gu Rong's cousin, and the two had a very good relationship.

Xiao Ci and Xia Muyan knew each other and fell in love, and Gu Rong also helped and pulled the strings.

For this reason alone, Gu Rong could get permanent preferential treatment from Xiao Ci.

Later, he regained his consciousness and found that Gu Rong had married Ye Bojian...

He also summoned Gu Rong to the palace once and asked her if she was sincere.

At that time, Gu Rong replied that she was sincere about marrying Ye Bojian.

Xiao Ci just sighed and didn't say anything more.

Xiao Ci looked down on Ye Bojian from beginning to end.

Giving him some favors was just for the sake of Gu Rong and that person.

Xiao Ci looked at Ye Bojian and suddenly chuckled.

"Marquis Cheng'en, how did Gu Rong's daughter get swapped when she was born? Also, the swapped daughter seems to be very favored by you and is very close to the prince."

Ye Bojian kowtowed heavily on the ground, and cold sweat broke out on hearing this.

A fake daughter who was swapped is very favored by him and is now close to the prince. All these things are linked together. Your Majesty is suspicious. If you think too deeply, you really can't explain it!

He hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Qingqing is actually the daughter of my mother's brother's son. My mother bribed the widow to swap the child when Rong'er was born, and wanted her to stay in the marquis' mansion to be raised as a spoiled child. Please investigate!"

Gu Rong sneered when he heard this.

"So, Lord Marquis, you knew about this from beginning to end."

Gu Rong really had no hope for Ye Bojian now.

If she hadn't known the truth, she would have been deceived by Ye Bojian again.

At this point, he was still thinking about preserving Gu Yingxue and his own reputation.

"No." Ye Bojian defended loudly, "I only found out about it two days ago. I was also very worried after the incident of the wrong child being taken away. Can the daughter of a dignified Marquis be replaced at will? So I went to investigate this matter. All the evidence pointed to my mother. I went to question her and she told the truth. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been at odds. My mother..."

Ye Bojian looked at Gu Rong and hesitated to speak.

But the meaning of his words was very obvious.

There was a conflict between Gu Rong and the old lady, and the old lady came up with such a vicious plan to separate Gu Rong from her daughter.

She was picked cleanly.

Xiao Ci heard it, and his eyes fell on Gu Rong with a joking look.

"You chose such a thing back then."

Xiao Ci's words could be said to be merciless. He was an emperor and he didn't pretend at all.

He said whatever he wanted.

Ye Bojian clenched his fists and wanted to bury his head in the cracks of the ground.

Gu Rong curled her lips.

She did choose such a thing back then.

And if she hadn't heard Ye Jingyue's thoughts, she would have been deceived by Ye Bojian until now.

Ye Bojian gently tugged at the corner of Gu Rong's clothes and whispered, "Madam, please help me speak..."

Gu Rong took a deep breath.

Then he said to Xiao Ci: "Your Majesty, this is also our family affair. We will handle it ourselves. Please don't interfere."

Xiao Ci looked at Gu Rong and saw that he was still planning to live with Ye Bojian. He sighed helplessly.

This was Gu Rong's own choice.

He didn't need to interfere.

But he would leave a way out for Gu Rong.

Xiao Ci looked at Gu Rong and said lightly: "If you don't have a good life in the Marquis' Mansion, you can come to me at any time. I can kill him for you at any time."

Xiao Ci's voice was very flat.

It seemed that killing someone was like crushing an ant.

Gu Rong pulled the corner of his mouth and saluted respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Ci waved his hand.

"Go back."

When Ye Bojian came out of Yu's study, his back was already wet.

He felt like he had brushed shoulders with death.

After leaving the palace, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

He couldn't even feel the injury on his butt.

Gu Rong looked at him with disdain.

"Ye Bojian, you are so useless!"

When Gu Rong returned home, he found Ye Jingyue waiting at the door. He

looked around anxiously.

When he saw her get off the carriage, he immediately rushed over.

"Mom, is it okay for you to go to the palace?"

Gu Rong felt soft in her heart.

She looked at Ye Jingyue's fair little face and suddenly felt that this was a gift from God to her.

She took Ye Jingyue's hand and led her into the house.

"It's okay. Your father will not be able to get away with it this time when he enters the palace. Also, the Zheng family is leaving the imperial city. You don't have to marry into the Zheng family."

Ye Jingyue gave Gu Rong a bear hug.

"Mom, you are so good. I love you."

Then she looked at Gu Rong timidly.

"I heard that His Majesty is very cruel and I am very worried about you."

Gu Rong smiled gently.

"His Majesty does have a bad reputation, but he is still good to you. This time, it was His Majesty who helped punish your father and the Zheng family."

"Oh."

[Ah! Mom! You are still naive! That's the emperor! In his eyes, there is only the supreme throne. ]

In the original work, this emperor Xiao Ci is both good and evil.

He does have means, strategies and wisdom.

Of course, he was indeed a lunatic at heart.

Also, he really loved his queen Xia Muyan.

But on the road of being an emperor, true love was only a very small part. Compared with power, the world, and the supreme position, beauty was nothing but dry bones.

If he really loved Xia Muyan so much, she would not have died so unclearly that year.

At that time, didn't he know Xia Muyan's situation in the palace?

But in order to gain the world, he had to keep Xia Muyan as a living target in the imperial city.

He actually knew that Xia Muyan was in danger.

But he didn't think about it, didn't ask.

He was lucky, thinking that Xia Muyan was so smart and bright, and would definitely be safe.

He hypnotized himself like this.

When he came back from the battlefield, his foundation was completely stable, and the high position was already in his pocket.

But he found that Xia Muyan was dead.

So, the repressed love grew wildly, and he began to become crazy, perverted, and bloodthirsty...
