The old emperor had a strange look on his face, "She wants to see me? Isn't she afraid that she will be trapped by entering the palace?!"
The law that no one from the Gu Clan can appear in the capital is written in black and white!"
“Father, Miss Gu said she wanted to explain it to you in person, and she must have made all the preparations.
Father, Miss Gu saved Yu'er and is my savior. I beg you to spare Miss Gu's life!
Miss Gu hasn't done anything bad since she came to the capital. Her crime is not punishable by death, Father!"
King Kang directly pleaded for Gu Yunsheng.
The old emperor was a little displeased, but did not show it too obviously.
"Okay, since you, San'er, have pleaded for her, it would seem unkind of me if I didn't agree.
Come, go to Prince Kang's mansion and invite Miss Gu over."
Prince Kang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Father!"
Soon, the guards brought Gu Yunsheng to the imperial study.
King Kang hesitated whether he should withdraw first. He was not sure whether he would listen to the explanation that Miss Gu gave to her father.
"I, Gu Yunsheng, greet the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Gu Yunsheng knelt down and kowtowed, paying respects.
The old emperor hummed, "Stand up, Miss Gu, right? Prince Kang said you wanted to explain to me in person, and I agreed. Now tell me what you want to explain to me."
Gu Yunsheng stood up and lowered her head, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I met Young Master Song while traveling abroad. At that time, we concealed our identities from each other.
It was not until Young Master Song said that he should return to the capital that I realized that he was actually the grandson of the current emperor.
I want to come to the capital, but I know that my identity does not allow me to enter.
So the commoner girl continued to conceal her identity as a descendant of the Gu Clan and followed the eldest son Song to Beijing and came to Prince Kang's Mansion.
Whether it was Prince Kang, Young Master Song, or everyone in Prince Kang's Mansion, they actually didn't know the identity of the commoner girl at the beginning.
I've heard the recent rumors in the capital, and I don't want anyone in Prince Kang's mansion to be implicated because of my status, so I want to personally meet the Emperor and explain the matter clearly."
The old emperor still supported his chin and looked down at Gu Yunsheng condescendingly.
"Then why did you come to Beijing?"
"Your Majesty, I came to the capital to fulfill my mother's last wish.
Back then, my mother lived in the capital city hiding her identity.
My mother just wants to live an ordinary life and doesn't want to get involved with the Gu Sect or use Gu magic.
But unfortunately, my mother's identity was discovered.
That man used the commoner girl who was still in my mother's house at that time as a threat and asked my mother to put a curse on someone.
My mother had no choice but to cast a curse, but after the curse was done, the man did not keep his promise and sent people to hunt my mother down!
My mother had no choice but to flee the capital!
A few years ago, my mother passed away. On her deathbed, she told me that the thing she regretted most in her life was that she had poisoned that man in the capital.
My mother hopes that if I have the chance to go to the capital, I must find that person and help him get rid of the poison!
In order to fulfill my mother's last wish, I can only conceal my identity and enter the capital."
Gu Yunsheng explained slowly, and this was the first time King Kang had heard her words.
King Kang was a little surprised and puzzled. He thought of the man who had asked Liu Niang to put a curse on him.
That man's surname also seems to be Gu...
I don’t know if it has any relationship with Gu girl and her daughter.
"Oh? Did Miss Gu find the person who was cursed? And the one who threatened your mother?"
The old emperor was obviously curious.
"Your Majesty, after arriving in the capital, I originally intended to find out who the person who was poisoned was and where he was.
The poison my mother put in me can be accurately found by my insect.
But the common girl never expected that the person who was poisoned was actually the second son of the Song family in Prince Kang's mansion.
When I first saw the Second Young Master Song, I could be sure that the poisonous insect in his body was the same one that my mother had planted in him.
I want to remove the poison from Second Young Master Song without alerting the entire Kangwang Mansion, but I have been struggling to find an opportunity..."
When Gu Yunsheng said this, King Kang's heart was in his throat.
He was afraid that what Gu Yunsheng would say next would be different from what he had said to his father before, and then it would be over.
Given his father's temperament, he would definitely become suspicious!
"Just recently, rumors about my identity spread in the capital. Prince Kang heard about it and asked me about it. I admitted it, and now I can help Second Young Master Song get rid of the poison."
Gu Yunsheng's next words made King Kang reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.
“However, I still don’t know who asked my mother to put the curse on Second Young Master Song.
That man sent people to hunt down my mother and almost killed both her and her.
I want to avenge this, Your Majesty. I can swear that even though I am a descendant of the Gu Clan, I have never used Gu magic to harm anyone!
I beg His Majesty to allow me to stay in the capital for a while longer so I can find the enemy who hunted my mother down!"
After Gu Yunsheng finished speaking, King Kang also echoed her.
"Father, it seems now that the person who hunted down Miss Gu's mother was the same person who had Lady Liu poison me!
That person is also my enemy!
I beg you, Father, to let Miss Gu stay. I want to find that enemy with her!"
The enemy of Gu Yunsheng and her daughter became the enemy of King Kang, so the old emperor had to consider his answer carefully.
The old emperor did not agree immediately, but thought about it for a while.
Because of the old emperor's attitude, the atmosphere in the imperial study became a little tense.
