Chapter 39: Wind Enters Jiange
Emperor Yong'an's reaction was within Gu Yuye's expectations.
When Gu Fangchen was still Gu Yuye's biological son on the surface, Emperor Yong'an had not seen this guy for 19 years.
Before the Dantian meridians were destroyed, Emperor Yong'an would occasionally ask about his recent practice and homework.
After that, he was too lazy to even ask. At most, when Gu Fangchen got into trouble, he would blame Gu Yuye lightly and ask him to discipline him more.
Now that the real prince has just been recognized, Gu Fangchen's identity is in doubt, and Emperor Yong'an wants to summon him immediately. He really doesn't even need to act anymore.
Emperor Yong'an's words "interesting" must have made him laugh for quite some time before sending Xiao Qiu to deliver his decree...
This game was half lost from the beginning.
If it weren't for Gu Fangchen who was suddenly replaced by someone unknown, when would he, a great military saint, have ever suffered such a great loss?!
But... entering the palace might also be an opportunity.
The haze in Gu Yuye's eyes flashed away, and he moved his fingers behind his back. He looked at the fat eunuch in front of him and said calmly:
"It is naturally an honor for the rebellious son that His Majesty wishes to see him."
The fat eunuch who looked like a Maitreya with a kind face was none other than Xiao Qiu, the chief eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.
Xiao Qiu heard this and said with a smile:
"From the prince's tone, he still recognizes the prince. Even if the prince is not his blood, the family ties of more than ten years cannot be severed."
"In the past, even when the prince got into great trouble, I heard that the prince never scolded him, but only confined him for a few days. His Majesty often sighed at the deep love between father and son in the Zhenbei Palace."
"There's no way you're going to turn hostile and beat that poor kid to death..."
He shook his head and sighed, "I guess there were so many people in the White Horse Temple that I made a mistake."
When Xiao Qiu said this, he suddenly slapped his lips lightly:
"Alas, my family has no descendants, and I have always longed for this kind of family happiness. If I am wrong, please do not mind it, Your Highness."
Gu Yuye narrowed his eyes and said lightly:
"You are joking, eunuch. I am grateful to God that the rebellious son remembered the nineteen years of grace he had given me and did not turn against me."
His tone was firm and resolute, he said sternly:
"This prince only acts based on facts. If that rebellious son has never had any connection with the Demonic Cult, then what's wrong with this prince raising him at home?"
"But if he truly acts as an accomplice to the evil, I will not let him off easily!"
Gu Yuye's eyes were cold.
Not only has no evidence of collusion between Gu Fangchen and the Demon Cult been found, but he has been able to turn the tables on them.
On the surface, we naturally cannot act rashly anymore.
But Gu Yuye couldn't do it, and Gu Fangchen couldn't do it either.
He brought his identity back to square one, hindering Gu Yuye while also limiting himself.
The first principle of respecting Confucianism in the Wei Dynasty was that the ruler should be the ruler, the minister should be the minister, the father should be the father, and the son should be the son.
In everything, it is important to have a legitimate reason.
As long as he is in Huangtian City, there will never be a second time for him to use Ding Xingfeng to kill a soldier puppet.
Once Gu Fangchen fails to convict Gu Yuye, the entire Wei officialdom, a small half of the immortal sects, and all the disciples of Yaoshan Academy will turn hostile, and the righteous path will basically have nothing to do with him.
"How could it be? The prince is not a bad person by nature, he was just delayed by those poisons and injuries. Alas, I really don't know who is so cruel as to do such a cruel thing to a child."
Xiao Qiu said again:
"But my Lord, didn't we say that the princess is the most beautiful woman in the rouge chart? How could there be such a person..."
Gu Yuye said coldly:
"Eunuch, be careful with your words! There must be someone malicious here, trying to confuse the public and sow discord!"
"In my opinion, it seems like the Demon Cult is acting out of desperation due to a guilty conscience."
"This prince is still fully investigating this matter in compliance with His Majesty's order. I hope you will not just follow the crowd! Otherwise, you might be suspected of collaborating with the evil cult!"
If others were accused so righteously by the King of Zhenbei, they would probably be scared to death.
But Xiao Qiu just said with a sad face:
"We also believe in the prince's character, but we heard that the princess's family seems to have heard the news and is making a fuss..."
The princess's hometown is naturally Jiange.
The largest sect of Liuhua Dao and the leader of swordsmanship in the world.
Gu Yuye took a deep breath.
He has not been close to any woman except Ning Caiyong for so many years, and has treated Ning Caiyong with respect. Isn't it because he made a promise to Jiange that Ning Caiyong would be the only one in his life?
Otherwise, how could a phrase of love at first sight convince the sword master who petitioned to carry Ning Caiyong across 120,000 miles to get married?
What Gu Fangchen really wants to detonate with this move is the Sword Saint's super nuclear bomb!
This is the real issue that Gu Yuye needs to consider.
Gu Yuye said coldly:
"It's just rumors. Once I find out who's behind this, the Sword Saint will naturally understand the truth."
Xiao Qiu smiled and cupped his hands:
"Then, I hope the prince can find out the truth soon."
Gu Yuye glanced at him and asked someone to find Gu Fangchen.
Although it was almost midnight, Emperor Yong'an didn't need to consider other people's feelings when doing something.
Gu Fangchen hurried over quickly. His clothes were new and the collar was crooked.
There was even a bright red tooth mark on his neck!
Judging from the size of the tooth marks, it clearly belongs to a woman.
Gu Yuye looked up and down at Gu Fangchen with a cold gaze. If he had not been sure that this person must have been replaced by someone else, he would not have been able to find any flaws for a while.
In this situation, he actually still has the mood to look for a woman...
If it wasn't that brainless dude, he really couldn't imagine who else would do such a ridiculous thing.
But Gu Yuye's expression soon turned gloomy.
Because the aura on Gu Fangchen belongs to that of the waiter Xiyin!
Princess Prajna was actually willing to go to such lengths for that sacred object?!
Gu Yuye's eyes flashed, and he felt more certain in his heart - if that was the case, the holy object in his hand would surely play a greater role.
Gu Fangchen straightened his clothes, patted the bird-shaped pattern woven with gold thread on the fabric without changing his expression, and then walked up to him with a playful smile.
"Eunuch Xiao! Is it because my talent is so great that even the Martial Saint is begging to take me as his disciple, and has this alarmed His Majesty?"
Xiao Qiu: “…”
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this.
This famous playboy in Huangtian City really hasn't changed his nature.
He laughed and said:
"Yes, His Majesty is somewhat curious about this, but the Martial Saint is a recluse and I think he is unwilling to meet His Majesty, otherwise he would have been invited as well."
Gu Fangchen grinned, turned his head to look at Old Man Ding's house, and said generously:
"It's okay. As the Martial Saint's most beloved and only true disciple, if I go, it's like the Martial Saint is gone."
snort!
In the darkness of the night, a faint sneer could be heard.
Everyone could almost imagine the old man's glaring eyes.
But with Ding Xingfeng's hot temper, he just snorted and didn't move...
Xiao Qiu looked at Gu Fangchen meaningfully. It seemed that this person was indeed the most beloved disciple of the Martial Saint.
Before leaving, Xiao Qiu suddenly stopped, slapped his head, turned around and said with a smile:
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. The emperor, out of sympathy for the prince and fear for him, has already specially consulted the Canliao Pillar and asked the imperial preceptor to tell his fortune."
"I believe that the question of whether the Crown Prince is your bloodline will soon be determined. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Gu Yuye: "..."
He watched expressionlessly as the two men soared into the sky and disappeared in streams of light.
This androgynous thing is still so disgusting...
Gu Yuye dismissed his subordinates, took a step forward, and returned to the White Horse Temple.
He stood in front of the backyard, looked at the host sweeping the floor in front of the door, and said lightly:
"Please inform me that Gu Yuye wishes to see Princess Prajna regarding... the lotus hidden in her womb."
