Chapter 168: Asking Mother for Divorce! (Two in One)
Ning Caiyong had just heard that Ziji Palace had summoned Gu Fangchen again, so he was naturally worried and had been waiting at the gate of the palace.
In the past few days, she has been thinking about it for a long time and has become more and more certain that both the exchange of children and everything that Chen'er has suffered over the years were planned by Gu Yuye.
Gu Yuye claimed that he understood her, so how could she not understand Gu Yuye?
It's just that I didn't know the truth before and treated Gu Fangchen as my own child, so I subconsciously ignored many things that were wrong that I should have noticed.
After all, as the saying goes, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs…
No matter what, Ning Caiyong didn't dare to think that Gu Yuye would deliberately harm his son.
But now that I know that Gu Fangchen is not my biological son, some of the things that I couldn't understand before now make sense.
She remembered that every time Chen'er was murdered, Gu Yuye was not there, and the offerings in the palace always went wrong.
She didn't know whether those who secretly harmed Chen'er were arranged by Gu Yuye, but Gu Yuye must have intended to go with the flow, just to turn Chen'er into a waste!
Ning Caiyong found this hard to accept, even more so than Gu Yunye and his son deceiving him.
The child she had raised and pampered since childhood was gradually turned into a useless person who was ridiculed by others.
How could she not be heartbroken?
She even occasionally wondered if Chen'er would blame her for not noticing it earlier and not being able to protect him...
Seeing Gu Fangchen practicing martial arts seriously with Ding Xingfeng these days, Ning Caiyong felt relieved, but he also felt a little timid. He didn't dare to disturb her too much and could only ask Xuexiang to report to her every day.
But today, Gu Fangchen was called to Ziji Palace again. She knew that Gu Yuye would never let Chen'er go and allow someone who had no blood relationship with him to continue to sit on the throne of the prince.
As the Princess of Zhenbei, she naturally knew that Gu Yuye was ruthless and not easy to deal with.
In fact, she could be said to have watched step by step how Gu Yuye achieved his current position, which naturally included how he killed his political enemies.
"Chen'er, what's wrong?"
Ning Caiyong also saw how vicious Gu Yuye's face was just now, but he still habitually treated Gu Fangchen as a child. He pursed his lips, reached out to hug him back, and then raised his hand to stroke the young man's cheek.
The beautiful woman frowned slightly and said softly:
"If you have anything, just tell me directly. You never asked for anything before..."
Gu Fangchen took her hand and went to Ning Caiyong's courtyard first, but he did not let go of her hand. Instead, he held it tighter. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said solemnly:
"I want to ask my mother for a divorce!"
Ning Caiyong's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously exerted force.
She has actually been tossing and turning these days, thinking about this issue, but getting a divorce is not that easy.
She could return to Jiange at any time, but what about Youren and Lianxian...
Furthermore, although she knew that Gu Yuye was the culprit of this series of events, he had made a clear distinction and there was no evidence at all.
As long as he still has a large army under his command, he can ask Emperor Yong'an for an order to forcibly tie up Ning Caiyong.
Therefore, Ning Caiyong just thought about it. If he really wanted to divorce...it would probably be difficult.
Gu Fangchen squeezed the beautiful woman's hand and said softly:
"Mom, do you believe me? As long as you believe me, everything can be solved."
Ning Caiyong nodded, not hiding his worry:
"Of course I believe in you, but Chen'er...don't rush into anything. Your safety is my top priority."
Gu Fangchen shook his head, but his eyes were a sharp and cold one Ning Caiyong had never seen before:
"If you hesitate to make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences."
Gu Yuye's plans were disrupted by him, and he was repeatedly mocked by him. He was extremely furious and wanted to get rid of him. This was actually the most radical stage.
At this stage, this "Legendary King of Endurance" would not think of escaping.
In other words, this is the best time to kill him!
Gu Fangchen didn't kill him before because he controlled half of Shuobei's defense line. Once the news of King Zhenbei's death spread, Qingman would attack immediately.
Without taking control of the situation, Gu Yuye must be kept.
And now, with Xiao Ying's good ability, taking the strategy he gave, and knowing the future, eliminating the traitor is enough to suppress the Qingman front line.
Even if Gu Yuye fell, Xiao Yinghao could still hold on for a while.
This time is enough for Gu Fangchen to go to Qingman and solve this branch line at the same time.
If "Mirror in the Dust" wants to achieve better endings, it must first repel external attacks and then stabilize the country.
The danger from Qing Man is far less than that from the two hidden Lao Dengs of Wei...
Coincidentally, Gu Fangchen has now randomly picked a good enough career.
A good skill that can be used for both offense and defense.
Therefore, this time when he went to Gusu, he not only wanted to ruin Gu Yuye's reputation, but also take Gu Yuye's life!
But there is still a prerequisite, which is to get rid of the pursuit of the ancestor grandmother first.
He is now using his skills to kite, relying on the fact that the speed of the ancestor's milk in traveling back and forth is not as fast as his direct teleportation... After all, finding the rift between the two worlds is not an easy task.
In this case, he cannot be too free in choosing people to kill, and must choose those who can be killed as quickly as possible.
Gu Yuye's "soldier puppet" can die in his place, and there are still two chances. He must also try his best to kill Gu Yuye without him being able to escape.
Otherwise he would have to turn on the "endurance" mode.
This is also the reason why Gu Fangchen had no objection to going to Gusu Road.
Because Lutai Road is right next to Gusu Road.
Yaoshan Academy is located on Lutai Road.
He has pried away one of the most important veins of "Wangu Tongtian". The academy will definitely not sit idly by and let go of this good opportunity.
With the ability of the academy, it is not difficult to keep this sword.
By then, they will attract the firepower of the Grandmaster, and Gu Fangchen can naturally use the [Yanwang Tie] to attack Gu Yuye.
Ning Caiyong saw the coldness in Gu Fangchen's eyes, and knew in his heart that this was the destined ending since the night Gu Yuye returned from Ziji Palace.
There will be a day when her husband and Chen'er will fight to the death.
Ning Caiyong lowered his eyes, feeling mixed emotions. There was a hint of clarity, but also a tangled web of emotions surging up in his mind.
"Mom...I need to think about it."
She was afraid that Chen'er would misunderstand her meaning, so after she finished speaking, she reached out and gently embraced the young man in front of her, bit her lip, and said:
"Tonight, tonight mother will give you an answer. No matter what, mother will not embarrass my Chen'er."
Gu Fangchen also knew that it would take some determination for Ning Caiyong to give up everything, and was willing to give her some time to think, so she nodded.
"good."
…
“Boom!”
Summer has arrived in early May and the weather changes more drastically.
The sky, which was clear just a moment ago, was now covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the wind was blowing wildly, blowing across everything on earth.
Huangtian City was not spared either. All things are equal between heaven and earth. Even the dignitaries in the inner city could not avoid being drenched by the rain when they were in a hurry.
Gu Fangchen waved his fan, and Xuexiang held an umbrella beside him.
He raised his head and saw a brightly lit building in front of him. The people inside were not affected by the bad weather at all and were still drinking and chatting. Through the open windows, he could vaguely see young women in cool clothes, laughing and socializing.
From time to time, some soft music mixed in with the sounds of stringed instruments could be heard.
It's not hard to tell that this is the Jiaofangsi...
Gu Fangchen used to hang out here often and was a familiar face. As soon as he showed up, he was immediately recognized.
"Hey, Your Highness!"
As soon as Mrs. Feng, who was middle-aged but still charming, heard the news, she came to greet him immediately.
"Your Highness hasn't been here for a while... But are you here to see Xiuxiu? You redeemed her a few days ago, and she happened to be packing her things today, preparing to leave Huangtian City and return to Gusu."
"I can't persuade him..."
Mother Feng sighed with some regret, then she noticed a figure walking down the stairs and waved, "Go!"
"Xiu Xiu, come quickly, look who's here."
Zhu Xiuxiu raised her head at the sound and met Gu Fangchen's gaze. She subconsciously turned pale, but then she reacted and hurriedly ran over with her bag, bowing and saying:
"Your Highness."
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows, clearly hearing the trembling of the girl's voice, and sighed in his heart.
The biggest victim of his evil deeds was Miss Zhu, the most popular courtesan in the Music Bureau.
To use Ace to admire such a quiet and sad little beauty, who is like a lilac flower in a rainy alley... is really perverted.
He redeemed Miss Zhu the day before yesterday just for the sake of convenience, and he had no intention of looking for anyone when he came here today.
It was Zhao Wenyuan who told him that Yang Si of Yantiansi had finally made time.
The meeting place is right here at the Jiaofangsi.
Well... in other words, the place where this Yang Si is spies is in the Jiaofangsi.
Gu Fangchen had known this for a long time and was not surprised.
What's more, as an important social gathering place for dignitaries in Huangtian City, Jiaofangsi does circulate a large amount of information.
Now that we've met, it seems like he's deliberately trying to block us...
Obviously, Zhu Xiuxiu on the opposite side also thought so.
She had been in a daze these past few days, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and still couldn't believe that she had become a free person like this.
Her family fell into decline, and she was reduced from a daughter of an aristocratic family to working in the Imperial Music Bureau for three years. She didn't even dare to hope that she would be able to return home one day as a free person...
But when she walked out happily, she ran into the Prince of Zhenbei who had turned into a nightmare. It was like a bolt from the blue. How could it be such a coincidence?
This guy probably wants to play a trick on her!
When she thought she could leave, he came to block her again, extinguishing the little hope that had just sprouted in her heart.
Zhu Xiuxiu hugged her small bag tightly, with a sad expression, biting her lower lip, almost on the verge of tears, but still obediently came before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Gu Fangchen was originally still despising himself, but seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little understanding.
This courtesan looks like a completely good girl. She is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even without makeup, she is still pretty and charming, just like a high school girl who is very good at studying and has strict family education.
And then he did this and that... Ugh!
Gu Fangchen shook his head in his heart and dispelled the images that emerged in his mind.
If it was someone who had a grudge against him, such as Gu Lianxian, he wouldn't mind using some despicable means.
But people like Zhu Xiuxiu obviously don't want to do that. Although he can continue to pretend to be that playboy, he can't deceive himself.
"Go back and be careful on the road."
Gu Fangchen shook his fan and sighed:
"If you have trouble traveling alone, I can assign guards to you..."
Zhu Xiuxiu was stunned, with a look of disbelief in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that he had let her go so easily.
She came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness. It's no trouble at all. I've already hired someone!"
"Although they are just ordinary warriors, it is still easy for them to escort me to Gusu..."
After she said that, she hurriedly bowed and left, holding up her skirt. It seemed that she didn't want to stay any longer, for fear that Gu Fangchen would change his mind.
Gu Fangchen twitched the corners of his mouth.
I feel that although I have tried very hard, the original reputation cannot be reversed in a short time.
He turned around and told Mother Feng the designated room, and she immediately took him there.
Gu Fangchen entered the room, asked Xuexiang to close the door, and then knocked on the wall with the hilt of his sword.
A blood-red eye suddenly opened on the wall. It looked very strange and scary at first glance, but Gu Fangchen smiled and said:
"The Director of the Eye and Sky Department is very busy, so it's really hard to meet him."
The eye on the wall belongs to the "Yang Si", one of the Yin and Yang Si of the Eye Department.
"The Prince of Zhenbei is the real talent. He has been hiding it for nineteen years, and I, the Chief of the Eyes and Heavenly Department, didn't even notice any clues. It's really admirable."
"Not only did his cultivation level quietly break through to the sixth rank... Hmm? Fifth rank?!"
The eyes suddenly widened and stared at Gu Fangchen, as if looking at a monster. The scene was really weird.
This eye emerging from the wall clearly looks more like something evil.
As a result, when these eyes looked at Gu Fangchen, a living person, it was as if they saw something dirty that shouldn't exist.
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows and said:
"I've recently come to a realization, and it just happened to break through the bottleneck."
"Yang Si" was silent for a long time, obviously unable to accept such a perfunctory reason.
In their eyes, Tiansi's evaluation of Gu Fangchen at that time was actually a bit exaggerated based on his battle record.
When the ranking adjustment of the Xiaotian Ranking was announced, Gu Fangchen's actual cultivation level should have been only the early sixth level.
They estimated that Gu Fangchen's true combat power was at the peak of the sixth rank.
But unexpectedly, in just a few days, Gu Fangchen transformed himself and broke through to the fifth-grade Grandmaster!
It's outrageous!
If it was so easy to break through to the fifth rank, the prince wouldn't have been stuck there for more than a hundred years, frustrated and nearly driven crazy.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others...
However, Yang Si did not come here to update the information this time. He quickly calmed down and said:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, came to talk to me specifically. What information do you want to know?"
Gu Fangchen said:
"It's simple. I want to know my origins."
…
night.
Gu Fangchen sat cross-legged on the bed to organize his thoughts. Suddenly he opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
Ning Caiyong pushed the door open, sat down at the head of Gu Fangchen's bed, and spoke softly.
"Mom will go to Gusu with you."
