The reason why Gu Zhaohe was able to ascend the throne as the youngest son of the previous emperor was certainly not because of his kindness. He acted decisively and ruthlessly, and believed in eradicating the roots of the problem.
He doesn't mind treating people with kindness and righteousness as long as they don't get in his way.
However, no one can covet what belongs to him.
Not to mention Jiang Yi.
Since ancient times, the king has been the leader of his ministers. If the king wants his ministers to die, they have to die. Gu Zhili holds a grudge against him, and keeping him will only cause trouble.
Prince Xin is the only son of Prince Xin and his wife. If he attacks Gu Zhili, Prince Xin will not sit idly by and wait for death.
Moreover, before, he had intended to choose a son of the royal family as his heir, but now that the poison in his body has been cured, he will never choose a son of the royal family in the future. The person who once had the hope of becoming the crown prince will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and it is very likely that he will attack him, Jiang Yi and their child.
Rather than waiting for others to attack him, it would be better for him to strike first.
Prince Xin and his wife did not teach their son well, and they had never shown any mercy to Jiang Yi before, so they were not innocent either.
Gu Zhili was completely shocked. He had lived a life of luxury for almost twenty years, but he still hadn't lived enough. He didn't want to die.
"My nephew was wrong. Please forgive me, uncle. I won't do it again. I just drank some wine and that's why I said the wrong thing. Please don't be angry with me..."
Seeing the attendants behind him about to drag Gu Zhili away, Gu Zhili suddenly stepped forward and hugged the emperor's thigh, "Uncle, you can't execute me."
"It's all the Queen's fault. It was the Queen who seduced me!"
"Yes, that's right." He suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor. "I am your nephew. How can you execute me just because of a woman?"
He actually felt a little aggrieved.
The emperor suddenly looked at him, his sinister eyes shrouded in deep darkness. You suddenly sneered. He was originally afraid that Jiang Yi would think he was too cruel, but now there was no need to worry.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
After he finished speaking, Gu Zhili was suddenly kicked out of the inner room, and he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"Drag him away now, or you will die with him."
The emperor's cold voice came from the inner room. The eunuchs did not dare to delay and dragged the man away. Gu Zhili's wailing continued to be heard outside.
After a while, someone else came out and said that the emperor asked them to stay away.
Gu Zhili was then dragged to another place and executed.
The emperor then looked at Jiang Yi. He was a little afraid to meet Jiang Yi's gaze, fearing that Jiang Yi would think he was cruel, although he did not think he was wrong.
No one likes a cruel person, just like the former emperor.
The late emperor once loved him very much, but after he killed his brothers, the late emperor began to fear him as his son.
But the late emperor never thought about why he became like this.
However, before the emperor could react, a small ball suddenly fell into his arms. Jiang Yi trembled in the emperor's arms and said, "Your Majesty, I was just so scared. I thought I was going to die."
"Fortunately, the emperor is here."
"You are like a god, appearing from the sky whenever I am in danger."
The soft ball in his arms expressed its fear and admiration, making the emperor feel a little unreal for a moment.
The emperor didn't even dare to move, for fear that if he did, everything in front of him would be gone.
After a long time, he reached out his hand, stroked Jiang Yi's hair carefully, patted her back and said, "Don't be afraid, everything is over, and this won't happen again."
"I will not let go of anyone who hurts you."
Jiang Yi raised her head again, "You want to deal with Prince Xin's family for me? Will people outside say anything about you? I don't want the emperor to bear the world's infamy because of me. In fact, you don't need to..."
Before he could finish his words, a deep and long kiss blocked Jiang Yi's lips. He said vaguely: "I am not afraid of being cursed, as long as you don't curse me."
"I am very lucky to have met such an understanding person like you."
"Hmm..." Jiang Yi suddenly fainted in the emperor's arms.
The emperor almost didn't catch the person. He belatedly looked at the person in his arms. He must have used a lot of strength, right? How did he faint?
The emperor quickly called for the imperial physician. Coincidentally, the empress dowager heard that Jiang Yi had fainted, so she also went over.
"Why did a healthy person faint?" the Queen Mother asked anxiously.
The imperial physician took Jiang Yi's pulse while looking at the emperor.
The emperor felt somewhat embarrassed, but he was more afraid of delaying the patient's treatment, so he said seriously, "I just kissed him and made him faint."
The empress dowager and the imperial physician all looked at the emperor with wide eyes.
The Queen Mother held her forehead and said, "It's been over a month since the Emperor and the Empress got married. How come a kiss can make someone faint? Could it be that you didn't consummate your marriage on the day of your wedding?"
The Queen Mother expressed her surprise, but was more speechless than able to complain, after all, she had given the Emperor the booklet.
She had been dreaming of having a grandson, but this is what happened?
Faced with the empress dowager's questioning, the emperor felt shame for the first time in his life, but he was more confused.
He clearly didn't use much effort.
He was too embarrassed to explain the Queen Mother's question.
Fortunately, the imperial physician spoke at this time, "The Queen is not seriously ill, she is just pregnant."
At the same time, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor looked at the imperial physician.
The imperial physician nodded affirmatively, "It's just that the Empress is newly pregnant, so the Emperor should still be careful."
