Chapter 91: Court officials take the blame for the emperor!
"Stop right there! What do you mean by bringing back a lady who is about the same age as your aunt?"
The prince ran even faster. His uncle always complained about him to the emperor, and today he finally got the chance to trick his uncle.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Lord Gu is not that kind of person. He and the Imperial Sister have such a good relationship."
The queen stepped forward to persuade him, fearing that the emperor would get excited and leave the palace.
"Humph, if he dares, I'll show you how I'll deal with him!"
The emperor was snorting angrily, and the queen was speechless. Neither of this father and son pair was worry-free.
"Xiao Dezi, summon Gu Ting to attend the morning court tomorrow morning!"
The emperor was in a very bad mood because he didn't get the nephew he had been waiting for for so long.
Then he thought that when Gu Ting was away, those ministers quarreled every day over trivial matters, and the emperor must let them feel the storm.
At the Princess's Mansion.
After dinner, Mother Gu and Old Madam Gu returned to the Gu Mansion together, and they were a little impatient to see Gu Shi.
Gu Ting and the eldest princess were worried, so they took Gu Yunfei with them.
The Gu Mansion was just opposite the Princess Mansion, which was very convenient. After dinner, they walked back.
Several people told Gu's mother about Gu Shi's situation, but when she saw her husband, she still couldn't control her emotions.
My handsome and elegant husband has now become so thin that he looks unrecognizable. It is heartbreaking to see him lying in bed.
Mother Gu's tears fell like beads from a broken string. Her husband was right in front of her, but she couldn't say a word to him.
"My second child's condition has been getting worse over the past two years. We've tried every possible method and sought medical help everywhere, but to no avail."
The old lady was very sad when she thought about this.
"Mom, don't be sad. Now that my sister-in-law is here, maybe my second brother will recover soon. Didn't the miracle doctor say that as long as we give my second brother faith, he might wake up."
The eldest princess used to think that the words the miracle doctor said were to comfort them, but now she believes that what the miracle doctor said is right.
"Yes, grandma, now that Second Aunt, Big Brother, and my younger brothers and sisters have all been found, Second Uncle will surely get better soon."
Several people took turns to persuade the old lady, and she felt less sad.
The few people couldn't bear to disturb the time that Gu's mother and Gu Shi were spending together, so they quietly left and left the time for the two of them.
When Gu's mother was alone in the room with Gu Shi, she told him about what had happened over the years and about the children.
Gu Shi was lying on the bed. He heard his mother's voice and tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't open them.
He wanted to say something to comfort his wife, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Gu Shi was struggling with himself, and at this moment his will to survive reached its highest point.
Mother Gu took his hand and said softly, "My dear, I know you can hear me, right? You must get better soon. Our children will be coming to Beijing soon. Let's go together to welcome them, okay?"
Gu Ting and her mother-in-law have already told her that talking more with her husband will be helpful for her recovery.
Although the old lady arranged a room for Gu's mother, she still chose to take care of Gu Shi herself and lived directly in Gu Shi's yard.
Old Madam Gu felt even more sorry for Gu's mother. Although her second son was not very reliable, the wife he found was the best.
It was already late when the eldest princess and Gu Ting returned to the princess's mansion, and they hurried to bed.
The two planned to go to the palace tomorrow. Knowing that the emperor was worried about his son, they wanted to explain.
What Gu Ting didn't know yet was that the prince had already tricked him.
Early the next morning, before the two had finished their breakfast, the emperor asked Xiao Dezi to come and pick them up into the palace in person.
The eldest princess smiled helplessly, her younger brother was still so anxious.
Xiao Dezi looked around secretly, but did not see the lady that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was talking about.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband were still very much in love and there didn't seem to be a third party involved, Xiao Dezi felt a little relieved.
In the palace.
As soon as the morning court ended, the emperor rushed to the queen's palace.
The eldest princess and the queen have a very good relationship. Every time she enters the palace, she will go to the queen's palace.
When the emperor came in, several people were drinking tea and chatting and laughing. The emperor became angry when he saw Gu Ting.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." When Gu Ting saluted, the emperor snorted and walked away from him.
Gu Ting felt that the emperor was targeting him today, and thought that the emperor was angry because he had been away for too long.
Gu Ting found his son and recognized his nephews and nieces. He was in a good mood and did not bother with the emperor.
The palace maid quickly brought back the tea. The emperor was chatting with the eldest princess and the queen.
Gu Ting sat next to the eldest princess, which earned him another eye roll from the emperor.
Gu Ting didn't care either. He was thinking about coming to court early tomorrow to share the emperor's worries.
"I heard that you found a concubine?" The emperor was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night yesterday. Based on the prince's description, he imagined a big drama in his mind.
Gu Ting was stunned at first, then he stood up excitedly. "Your Majesty, how can you slander me? I have a princess, it's enough. Why do I need a concubine?"
"Why are you so excited? I also heard about it. Who was the woman you brought back yesterday?" The emperor said this with some guilt.
"Your Majesty, that's my brother's wife, what's the point of a concubine? Your Majesty, tell me who's been gossiping about you, and I'll go and ask them myself."
Gu Ting was furious. Who was so stupid as to spread rumors about him?
The emperor naturally didn't dare to tell Gu Ting that it was the prince who said it when he returned to the palace, and then he just imagined it all night.
The emperor has even written the divorce decree, so no one can bully his sister.
"It was during the court this morning that I accidentally overheard the ministers' discussion."
The emperor touched his nose guiltily, thinking that it was not too much to let the ministers take the blame.
"They are so idle that they even have time to gossip. Your Majesty, can't you give them more things to do?"
Gu Ting took the initiative to bring in the ministers to speak ill of him and decided to attend the morning court tomorrow.
"It's because you've offended too many people, and I can't convince them with just one word."
"It seems that while I've been away recently, their tongues have gotten better. I will attend the morning court tomorrow to find out who is speaking ill of me."
"You just returned to the capital. If you're tired, just rest for a few days. It's not a big deal to quarrel with someone for a while. I definitely believe you."
The emperor's words further stimulated Gu Ting.
"I'm not tired, but I can't stand this anger for even a day. I'll definitely come tomorrow."
Gu Ting instantly became full of fighting spirit and his combat value was at its maximum.
Xiao Dezi felt that his master was too good at deceiving people. It was clearly he who was so angry that he scolded Lord Gu in the middle of the night last night, but he never expected that it would be the ministers who would take the blame today.
The Queen and the eldest princess glanced at the Emperor, picked up their teacups and pretended to drink water to hide the smiles in their eyes.
Gu Ting was so angry that he drank several cups of tea before calming down his anger. He cursed the rumormonger countless times in his heart.
