On the auspicious wedding day, guests are everywhere, toasts are clinking, and the atmosphere is full of joy.

"Congratulations, young marquis!"

"Have a baby soon."

"Congratulations..."

Servants were coming and going, guests were playing, laughing and chatting, creating a lively scene.

In the hall.

The eldest princess and Marquis Dingguo entertained the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to the banquet. It is an honor for the Dingguo Marquisate and Yier as well. Ling would like to offer you a toast."

Marquis Dingguo held the wine glass in both hands.

The emperor stroked his beard and smiled:

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Ling Qianyi has already married and had children. I am getting old too!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. You are in your prime."

"Hahaha! You've said all that. Come, have a drink."

"yes."

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a dark green figure appeared from nowhere, ran into the hall, and knelt upright in front of the emperor. The muffled "bang" sound made many people around turn their heads to look.

What's going on?

Take a closer look.

Isn’t the person kneeling down the second master of the Gu family, the father of the bride?

The emperor was stunned:

"Second Master Gu, what are you doing...?"

"Your Majesty, Gu is guilty!"

Master Gu spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Not far away, Zong Zhengli, who was talking to an official, saw this scene and an ominous thought flashed through his mind...

Mr. Gu was forced to choose between his daughter and the Gu family.

Prince Chen is a man who holds grudges. He knows everything about what Prince Chen and Prince Li did when he went to the northern border to fight.

Prince Chen said that if he did not admit it voluntarily, he would report it to the palace. By then, not only would the entire Gu family suffer, but Gu Qingqing would not be able to marry the young marquis smoothly.

If he took the initiative to admit it and testify against Prince Li, Prince Chen could not guarantee the safety of the Gu family, but he could guarantee Gu Qingqing's marriage.

Mr. Gu struggled in agony for a few days and finally made a choice.

He raised his head and said loudly:

"During the three months since Prince Chen went on the expedition, Gu, under the instigation of Prince Li, colluded with the Xiongnu, betrayed military secrets, and killed Prince Chen. Gu is guilty!"

hiss--

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Collusion, betrayal, killing, and suspected of being involved with King Li!

Is he the King Li who has a mild temper, is as gentle as jade, values ​​the people, is dedicated to the people, and is selfless?

In an instant, the air changed.

The smile on the emperor's face froze and his expression darkened.

The Princess and Marquis Dingguo looked at each other. Both of them had some taboos. They didn't explode earlier or later, but on Yier's wedding. It seemed that they were well prepared.

Zong Zhengli's eyes also turned cold.

Qin Ye looked at this scene and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

After being exposed in public, she wanted to see how the emperor would still protect Zong Zhengli.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Strange silence...

Everyone's eyes were on the Emperor and Prince Li.

The information that Mr. Gu took the initiative to reveal is most likely true. No one would joke about such a life-threatening matter.

I never thought that King Li was such a person...

After a while.

Zong Zhengli's eyes turned slightly, he took a step forward and said in a cold voice:

"Second Master Gu, you and I have never had any grudges against each other. There is no need for you to step down on me just to please King Chen, right?"

He didn't admit it.

The gloom in my heart reached its peak.

He didn't expect that Zong Zhengchen would start with the Gu family and expose him in public. He miscalculated this!
