Gu Pianran's expression became more and more grim.
At this moment, she felt as if all her clothes had been stripped off and she was being humiliated in front of others.
Even though she was Gu Fanzhi's mother, she could not let go of or forgive such a shame.
Concubine Xiao's slender fingers pinched her chin, making their eyes meet. "Are you angry? Furious? No matter how angry you are, it can't change this fact. As long as I am here, I will not let you succeed."
"I've seen plenty of women like you. You can seduce the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Princes, and I'm happy to see it happen. But you absolutely shouldn't put your hands in front of my son."
"I only have one son, and his future success must not be ruined by a lowly person like you. If you know what's good for you, just leave him. If you insist on going against me, I have ways to make you and your family suffer a fate worse than death."
"Think carefully about whether you want to go against me or leave him."
Concubine Xiao did not give her any right to refuse.
Gu Pianran knew that if she went against him, she would never let her go.
This is the right in this feudal society dominated by men.
She worked hard to change her destiny, to add weight to herself, to improve her status, and to have the right to talk to those in higher positions.
Originally, she was about to succeed, but because of the appearance of that woman, all her previous efforts were wasted, and she was forced to be humiliated here today.
Gu Pianran is a practical person. Even if she wants to stand up and refute her self-righteousness at this moment, she will be the only one who suffers in the end.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Pianran said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not covet the Fourth Prince, let alone become his concubine."
Concubine Xiao stared at her coldly, as if examining the truth of her words. "If you can truly do it, that would be great. If you can't, and you're pretending to obey me but secretly disobeying me, you better think about the consequences."
"I believe that given the current situation of your Gu family, even if there are ten of you, let alone one, it would be as easy as crushing an ant." Concubine Xiao warned cruelly.
Gu Pianran's face turned pale, suppressing the anger in her heart, "I understand."
"I understand."
At this moment, the sound of a nanny kissing and greeting was heard outside the palace door.
"Fourth Prince."
Both Concubine Xiao and Gu Pianran heard the voice. Gu Pianran breathed a sigh of relief, while a glimmer of light flashed in Concubine Xiao's eyes.
This time it came so quickly.
It can be seen that he really cares about this little bitch.
When Concubine Xiao saw the figure walking into the inner hall, the coldness on her face disappeared and was replaced by a kind and gentle smile. She bent down to help Gu Pianran up, and the bracelet in her hand slipped directly onto Gu Pianran's hand.
"This bracelet is my favorite. It has been with me for several years. Now I give it to you."
Gu Pianran noticed the warning in Concubine Xiao's eyes. She was not a fool and would not foolishly think that everything would be fine as long as he came.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up, get up."
When Gu Fanzhi came in, he saw this scene. These two women were the most important to his life. Seeing them together in harmony and friendship made him very happy.
