When Gu Yuancheng said this, his face was calm. However, the man who was stepped on could not help but shudder.

Regardless of the pain all over his body and the pressure on his chest, he immediately retorted in fear:

"Gu Yuancheng! What are you talking about?! Which country nowadays is ruled by filial piety? How dare you slander the Empress Dowager without any evidence?!"

"You are crazy! You killed so many of my guards and even hurt me! If the Empress Dowager knew, she would definitely let you go!"

Compared to Gu Yuancheng, the seventh prince who was favored by Empress Dowager Beichen, Gu Chengji's mother, Concubine De, was the Empress Dowager's niece.

The Queen of Beichen Kingdom had passed away many years ago. With the support of the Empress Dowager, Concubine De managed the affairs of the six palaces for many years. It is said that the second and fourth princes she gave birth to were also very much loved by the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, when Gu Chenglu was pinned to the ground by his own brother, he did not question him first, but instead started to defend his grandmother.

Gu Yuancheng ignored the threat from the man on the ground, looked at him scornfully, and said coldly:

"Evidence? What other evidence do you need? Is the most convincing evidence written all over your face?"

Gu Chengjiu: ...

"Then why don't you just let me go! Gu Yuancheng, everyone in the world says that you are so smart that you are almost a demon. Since you can guess everything by yourself, why did you come here to kill so many of us?!"

“Although I can guess everything, I am also so sure about everything.”

Gu Yuancheng's face was chubby, but his expression was unusually cold.

Inexplicably, the image of the little kid in the jungle that day blinking his big eyes and asking for candy from me suddenly came to my mind. I asked hesitantly:

"Half a month ago, Sheng Jinghai was seriously injured and captured at the border. Was it you who teamed up with the Southern Qi royal family to set this up?"

"I'm really curious. The Southern Qi border troops have been fighting on the battlefield with Sheng Jinghai for many years and have become very hardened. Many soldiers sincerely worship Sheng Jinghai and regard money as dirt. How could they be bought off so easily by you?"

"Also, after their defeat, the two of them fled to Qinglong Pass with 50,000 soldiers and horses. And the terrain at that time was obviously more favorable to the Southern Qi army. How could they be defeated so easily by the 20,000 troops of Beichen, with all the soldiers wiped out and Sheng Jinghai's son seriously injured?"

"My dear second brother, no matter how I deduce, I can't figure out how you set up this situation. So, can you explain it to me?"

Gu Chengyuan's voice was childish, but it carried a tone that was not to be doubted.

It was the first time that Gu Chengyu saw a confused expression on his good brother's face. Gu Chengyu ignored the pain in his chest and laughed happily:

"Hahaha! What the Empress Dowager said is absolutely right. You are indeed a nagging ungrateful person! You have been fond of studying the classic battles that Sheng Jinghai has fought since you were a child. You even said in public that Sheng Jinghai is a contemporary hero."

"Gu Yuancheng, listen to yourself. How can you believe that Prince Beichen would say such a thing? Are you kidding me?!"

"What? You're coming to me now to ask for the truth. Do you want to clear the name of your idol?! Hahaha! Then kneel down and beg me. If you beg me, I'll tell you the truth!"

Gu Yuancheng narrowed his little face and looked down at the person lying on the ground, his eyes acting as if he was looking at a fool.

"You're telling me, right? It doesn't matter, you'll beg me to listen to you later."

He waved his hand behind him, and Xuanfeng immediately walked forward with a wooden face, roughly tore open Gu Chengyu's clothes, and smeared a layer of honey-colored potion all over his body.

"Gu Yuancheng! Are you crazy? I'm your second brother, what are you doing?!"

The man on the ground felt a little scared at this moment, and immediately held back his scream.

Xuanfeng, however, didn't care about his noise at all and opened a large jar.

In a flash, dense black ants flew out of the jar and rushed towards every skin of Gu Chengxu's body.

The smooth and white skin was instantly covered with dense black ants.

He lay on Gu Chengtuo's body and nibbled the medicine bit by bit, while also nibbling at Gu Chengtuo's fair and tender flesh.

"ah--"

Gu Chengyu only felt as if countless needles were piercing his body, then pulling out, piercing again, and pulling out again...

This cycle repeated itself over and over again. He immediately became paralyzed by the pain and tried to suppress the pain that distorted his face.

"Gu Yuancheng! How dare you... How dare you do this to me! I am the second prince of Beichen! How dare you..."

Extreme pain instantly spread throughout his body. Gu Chengxu felt as uncomfortable as a maggot, twisting on the floor.

"Wu... Seventh brother... My dear brother, I'm telling you... I'll tell you whatever you want to know... Stop now... Quickly... Take these things back... Wuwu..."

Gu Yuancheng was small, but standing there he looked like a god in charge of life and death.

"Tell me. Who else, other than the royal family of Southern Qi or Northern Chen, was behind this shocking conspiracy that caused the entire Sheng family to be exiled?"
