In the end, the emperor failed to relinquish the throne and was even severely reprimanded.
Feeling wronged, he returned to the imperial study and suddenly saw the letter he had placed on the dragon's desk a few days earlier.
It was brought back by the man he sent to monitor King Qu. He was in a bad mood and wanted to see what that old bastard King Qu had written.
After reading it, he frowned. He thought that only he and the Empress Dowager knew about the Empress Dowager's twins. How could Prince Qu know?
This letter was intended to sow discord between him and the Empress Dowager, but their relationship as grandmother and grandson would not be affected by it.
Really, he couldn't be happier than for the Empress Dowager to help his own son kick him, the emperor, out of the country. Didn't you see that he wanted to hand over the throne and then leave with the Empress Dowager and Empress Xue to live a carefree life in a secluded paradise?
He sent someone to inquire about the King of Qu's condition over the past two days. The messenger reported that the King of Qu had been ordained as a monk and was currently practicing in the backyard of Huguo Temple.
The emperor had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
If he were to write to him at this time about the Empress Dowager's twins, the ambition of this Prince Qu would not disappear just because he shaved his head.
He then ordered two more people to keep a close watch on King Qu for every single hour of the day, including when he was eating, sleeping, or using the toilet.
...
The day after Gu Shouxin finished his vacation, he went to the emperor, proposed his idea, and took his family to Kuncheng.
The emperor certainly wouldn't want that. His grandmother had finally waited for her son to return, and now he was going to Kuncheng, which would only lead to him being scolded.
The emperor was even considering whether to select someone else and bring one of the Huo family members who was serving as an official elsewhere to the capital.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Gu Shouxin understood that he already knew the truth, and said that his father would discuss this matter with the Empress Dowager.
The emperor scolded him angrily, "You found out and didn't tell me? I treated you like a brother, do you think I'm stupid?"
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to fight Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin remained calm: "Your Majesty, I have practiced martial arts since childhood. It took Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu working together to defeat me."
Emperor: You, you actually threatened me.
I am the grandson personally raised by my grandmother, even closer to her than you, her own grandson!
Gu Shouxin finally understood just how bizarre the royal family members were, in order to highlight the male protagonist.
This emperor is no less capable than their eccentric family man.
Thinking about it more deeply, the eccentricities of the Gu family were inherited from their ancestor, the Empress Dowager, and the emperor was personally raised and educated by her.
So, the most bizarre one is the Empress Dowager, this ancestor?
The eccentric matriarch is going out of the palace again. This time, she invites the emperor to go with her. The two of them leave before the palace gates close and head straight for the Gu family.
The Gu family had also prepared dinner, a large table full of food, just waiting for the two of them.
Gu Sangu's family of five was also called over, but only Gu Sangu's family of five and Zhang Shi didn't know what was going on.
When the Emperor appeared, Zhang Shi and Gu Sangu recognized him. Wasn't this the Boss Ye who used to live in the village?
My third uncle was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. He had participated in the imperial examination, and the emperor had stood beside him for a full quarter of an hour.
The emperor helped the man up: "Today I am not the emperor, I am your brother-in-law. Third sister's husband, stand up!"
Gu Sangu: "Hey, I haven't even admitted to being your sister."
Gu Xin tugged at her third aunt: "Third aunt, didn't you hear what he said earlier?"
Aunt Gu: "That sentence from before? Today I'm not..."
Aunt Gu looked shocked.
