As soon as they were dragged away, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Fanzhi.
Emperor Wenxuan looked at him coldly, this boy cannot be kept.
I didn't touch him before because I was concerned about the father-son relationship.
"Take him away." Emperor Wenxuan ordered coldly.
The guards stepped forward, and Gu Fanzhi finally reacted. He turned to look at Emperor Wenxuan and said, "Father, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
Emperor Wenxuan looked at the person kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and his face became even colder.
If he stood upright and told him loudly that he was not wrong, he might still admire his backbone, but seeing him like this, he felt something blocking his heart and made him very uncomfortable.
"Drag him away." Emperor Wenxuan said coldly.
"Father, I was bewitched by the alchemist and made a big mistake. I was really confused for a moment. Please have mercy on me, Father." Gu Fanzhi begged bitterly.
The Fifth Prince was deeply afraid that Emperor Wenxuan might be persuaded by his words and thus mitigate his guilt, so he said quietly, "Father, Fourth Brother was really showing off just now. Last night, he even blocked the palace gates for us all and wouldn't let us in. As soon as he came in today, he showed us his power, which really gave us a taste of Fourth Brother's power."
Gu Fanzhi looked at the fifth prince with hatred in his eyes.
After hearing what the fifth prince said, Emperor Wenxuan was not very angry. Instead, he became dissatisfied with the fifth prince.
The Second Prince stepped forward and said, "Father, my fourth brother must have been momentarily confused, which led him to commit such a heinous act. Fortunately, Father is safe and sound, and the palace is also safe. I beg Father to forgive my fourth brother this time."
When the Fifth Prince heard the Second Prince say this, he looked at him in disbelief, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Did my second brother take the wrong medicine? He actually pleaded for him.
Could it be that he had forgotten how Fourth Brother treated them just now?
Smart people, however, gave the Second Prince a thumbs-up. His tactic of "retreating to advance" not only failed to help Gu Fanzhi, but instead made Emperor Wenxuan even more determined to execute him. At the same time, he also managed to convince Emperor Wenxuan that he was kind-hearted.
Emperor Wenxuan's gaze softened as he looked at the Second Prince, but when he turned to look at Gu Fan, his gaze grew even colder. "Imprison him in the Heavenly Prison."
The guard was dragging Gu Fanzhi to leave, but before he reached the door, he saw a person hurriedly running in from the entrance of the palace. This person was none other than Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao glanced at her son, hurried past him, ran straight to Emperor Wenxuan, and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please spare my son's life."
Concubine Xiao knew that the only person who could save him now was Emperor Wenxuan.
Emperor Wenxuan looked at Concubine Xiao with an ugly expression.
How did that group of people guard her and let her escape?
Concubine Xiao had tears on her face and looked at him pleadingly.
"Your Majesty, I only have this one son. Without him, I cannot survive." Concubine Xiao cried sadly.
Emperor Wenxuan remained unmoved.
Having served Emperor Wenxuan for so many years, Concubine Xiao knew his temperament too well and could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his subtle expression.
Suddenly, Concubine Xiao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for my son's. I beg Your Majesty to spare my son."
After she finished speaking, before anyone could react, Concubine Xiao bumped her head against the pillar of the hall, and blood splattered everywhere, with bright red blood gushing from her forehead.
That beautiful face was stained with blood, and she looked at Emperor Wenxuan with a persistent gaze.
