"Yes, we haven't seen each other since you entered the palace. Now that I see you living so well, I feel relieved." Zhou Qichen smiled with relief.
The person he could not let go of the most in his life was Gu Sang who was in the palace.
When he learned that Gu Sang died in the deep palace.
He's going crazy!
If it weren't for his reason telling him to stay calm, he really wanted to rush into the palace with a knife and ask Pei Changying why he broke his promise to treat Gu Sang as a treasure!
Perhaps thinking of something, Zhou Qichen anxiously advised, "Sangsang, please don't believe Pei Changying's words anymore, okay?"
"He didn't keep his promise to you of a lifetime together, nor did he keep his promise to make you his queen. You've given so much for him..."
"He treated you like this, so ungrateful."
"He seems to be infatuated with you and rarely visits other women's bedrooms."
"But that's not love at all. It's unwillingness and possessiveness."
"So, Sangsang, please don't come back!"
Gu Sang felt warm in his heart and smiled as if it was his due responsibility: "Do you think I'm a fool? My world is so good, why should I go back and suffer?"
"Besides, who would be stupid enough to give up their freedom for a man?"
"As for you, now that the Zhou family's military power has been taken away, and you have a good relationship with me, Pei Changying must have given you a lot of trouble, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qichen shook his head with a wry smile.
He told Gu Sang everything Pei Changying had done in secret over the years.
Exclude loyal generals.
Suspicious and anxious.
Increase taxation.
He only cares about his own rights and doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates.
Even before Gu Sang entered the palace, she had secretly ordered that all women were not allowed to hire teachers! They were only allowed to study the Three Obediences and Four Virtues!
He threatened that he should not study too much and become too ambitious, like Gu Sang who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!
The more you listen;
The coldness in Gu Sang's eyes grew stronger.
From Zhou Qichen's narration, we can hear that he was also extremely dissatisfied with the emperor.
After Zhou Qichen finished his accusations, Gu Sang took a deep breath, stared at Zhou Qichen seriously, and asked, "Brother Qichen, are you willing to trust me again?"
"What do you want me to do?" A thought flashed through Zhou Qichen's mind and his heart beat faster.
Three seconds later.
Gu Sang uttered a soul-shattering sentence: "Back then, in order to return home, I had no choice but to help Pei Changying ascend to the throne."
"Your Zhou family doesn't support any prince."
"In order to help me, you also stood behind Pei Changying without hesitation."
"But is he still worthy of the throne now?"
"Qi Chen, let's change someone. I think the eldest princess is more suitable for this position than him!"
The eldest princess!!!
Even Zhou Qichen, who was extremely courageous, couldn't help but take a step back after hearing these shocking words.
His family is a family of veterans of three dynasties, and is full of loyal and brave people.
Back then, he supported Pei Changying to take the throne, firstly because he couldn't bear to see Gu Sang lose the bet, and secondly because Pei Changying was at least a concubine's prince!
But now——
Gu Sang wants him to overthrow the emperor that the Zhou family has been loyal to for generations?!
No!
It's not just about overthrowing the emperor!
Gu Sang wants to overthrow the rules of patriarchy!
Once the eldest princess ascends the throne, the world will change!
The wind blew in through Zhou Qichen's collar, making his clothes bulge and his sleeves rustle, just as his heart was struggling violently between loyalty and conscience.
Zhou Qichen looked at Gu Sang's determined and bright eyes, just like the first time he saw them, which made people feel impressed.
Finally, reason took the lead temporarily: "I'm sorry, Sangsang, I can't do it..."
"My family has been loyal and brave for generations. I cannot promise you that."
"Even though this emperor is incompetent, he is still legitimate. I know the eldest princess is more suitable, but our Zhou family can't get over it."
Gu Sang was not disappointed, which was within her expectations.
Although Zhou Qichen often speaks disrespectfully to Pei Changying, if something really happens, he will definitely be the first to come out and support Pei Changying.
This is the meaning of the existence of a veteran of three dynasties and a family full of loyal heroes!
Their existence is like a city wall, blocking all wind, frost and swords for this dynasty!
"Don't make a decision so hastily."
Gu Sang said calmly, "A family of loyal warriors shouldn't be loyal to a single family name, but to the people of the world. If one day Pei Changying accuses the Zhou family of treason and executes the entire Zhou family, will your resolve waver?"
Zhou Qichen's eyes were filled with conflict as he shook his head, "No, no, the emperor may be selfish, but he wouldn't be so absurd."
"Your Majesty can still tell the difference..."
"Can you really tell the difference? Brother Qi Chen, why don't you take a look at the emperor's attitude towards the people of Plague City and his subsequent execution of the Zhao family and others."
"He has disappointed me countless times, but when it comes to being ruthless and disloyal, Pei Changying has never let me down."
"I don't think he will let you down. I'll wait for you to change your mind!"
Gu Sang didn't say anything more and hung up the connection.
But her last few words were like a curse that entangled Zhou Qichen.
Zhou Qichen tossed and turned, thinking about Gu Sang's words all night.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Why did he doubt the emperor's actions? Why did he feel that the Zhou family might really be executed?
The next day soon arrived.
Before dawn, Zhou Qichen arrived at the hall in a carriage.
From a distance, one could see the ministers standing together with sad faces, and several old ministers were sighing to express their disappointment.
Some young ministers even whispered, "I heard that yesterday evening, the Emperor ordered that all the family members of the imperial physicians who left the palace without permission be imprisoned."
