The Southern Emperor looked at Chang'an in surprise, "Chang'an, why do you think so?"
"Is there something wrong?" Chang'an looked at the Southern Emperor in confusion.
"Your cousin's biological mother was a prostitute. This destined him to never be able to sit on the throne of the Southern Kingdom."
"Just because of this?" Chang'an looked at the Southern Emperor with amusement, "I never thought my grandfather would be so pedantic."
"What? You actually despise me for being old-fashioned?" The Southern Emperor looked displeased.
“Isn’t it?” The more Chang’an looked at the Southern Emperor, the more he felt that he was just an old child. “Logically speaking, my last name is Gu.
If you hand over the Southland to me, is it equivalent to handing the Southland to a person of an outsider?
After all, my cousin is still a legitimate Nangong family. Besides, even if an outsider inherits the throne, what does it matter?
As long as it can benefit the people, it is good.
Of all the women in the world, who would want to end up in a brothel? Who among those who end up in a brothel isn't a helpless and pitiful person? "
"You, like your mother, have a kind heart." A smile appeared on the Southern Emperor's lips. "You must take over Fushengmen, whether it's because of my Nanguo or because of yourself.
As for the land of the Southern Kingdom, it was originally meant for you. If you really don't want it, it will be considered a gift to my grandson-in-law in the future.
As for Nangong Rui, he actually didn't want the child. I once asked about the Southern Kingdom's Jiangshan.
"Your Majesty." Someone outside announced, "Prince Nangong has arrived."
Nan Huang and Chang'an looked towards the person who came.
"Nangong Rui greets the Emperor and Princess Yongping." He said respectfully and seriously, "Nangong Rui is guilty and just came here. I heard the Emperor and Princess Yongping talking, so I waited for a while and happened to overhear their conversation."
"It's okay." The emperor waved his hand without any concern, "You are not an outsider.
I, an old man, don't care. I asked you to come here now because I hope you can help Chang'an take over Fushengmen. You know, many of the people in Fushengmen are your father's spies.
"Nangong Rui understands."
"Yes." The emperor nodded with satisfaction. "Of this Nangong family's children, I think you are the one who pleases me."
Nangong Rui didn't say much either.
Chang'an on the side was very surprised. He didn't expect that his grandfather was the grandfather he was familiar with, whether in the court or in private.
I'm very happy that his identity as the emperor did not cover up his true self.
In the next few days.
Chang'an has been busy taking over the Fusheng Sect and looking for Bei Mingxuan's whereabouts.
Until half a month later...
Inside the Fusheng Gate.
Changan looked at Wanxin and walked in anxiously, "Aunt, why are you so anxious? But there is news about Bei Mingxuan."
Wanxin nodded.
No words yet.
Nangong Rui rushed in, "Chang'an, there's news about Bei Mingxuan."
Chang'an suppressed his excitement and tried to control himself. He looked at Nangong Rui and Wanxin and said, "Cousin, you and aunt may have brought the same news, but..."
"But, my aunt looks worried. And you seem so heartless?" Chang'an teased with a casual look.
The anxiety on Wanxin's face did not diminish in the slightest.
On the contrary, Nangong Rui smiled helplessly, "I knew this day would come, but cousin, you must make it clear that I, your cousin, also have good intentions, and it is all for you."
"..." Chang An felt confused no matter how he listened, so he simply ignored Nangong Rui, "Aunt, you speak first."
"According to the information we received from you, something has happened to the Gu family... The prince has returned to Shuzhou and taken control of the court. He now holds great power and has discovered that the Gu family is secretly colluding with the Shijin Kingdom to massacre the people of Shuzhou.
Today... Today, the Gu family will be punished, and the entire family will be executed..."
"Punish the Gu family? Execute the entire clan?" Chang'an pondered. "When did he return? When did he take control of Shuzhou? Where is the Shu Emperor?"
Wanxin knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the news was brought back by Chengde. Everything happened this morning. We didn't receive any news from Prince Xuan before that. As for the Emperor of Shu..."
"I know about the Shu Emperor's affairs, and the Gu family's affairs are also destined...but, Bei Mingxuan..."
The Emperor of Shuzhou actually passed away after leaving Chang'an.
It’s just that Eunuch Cheng and the Queen Mother kept it a secret, and no one knew about it.
Just waiting for Bei Mingxuan to arrange everything, and when he appears, he will announce to the public the death of the Shu Emperor.
Chang An thought for a moment and glanced at Bai Lu beside him, "When the people from Prince Xuan's Mansion contacted you, did they never mention the prince?"
"Never mentioned it." Bai Lu told the truth.
Chang An looked thoughtfully at Nangong Rui, only to see his eyes evade. "Cousin, why don't you dare look at me?"
"No, where can I find it?"
"No?" Chang'an's eyes were sharp. "You'd better make sure you're telling the truth."
Nangong Rui curled his lips and said nothing.
"Master..." Wan Xin had another thing to say, but she hadn't dared to say it to Chang An. "There's one more thing, your subordinate, your subordinate..."
"Aunt, please get up and talk. There are no outsiders here."
Wanxin was still kneeling on the ground.
Changan frowned and looked at Wanxin, "If you feel embarrassed, don't tell me. I will rush back immediately anyway.
You'll understand the whole story then. Bai Lu, pack your things."
"yes."
"Mr. Qingfeng passed away..."
“…”
Wanxin's words made Changan's heart stop for a moment, "???"
Chang'an was not the only one who was surprised. No one had expected that Gu Qingfeng had passed away.
Nangong Rui’s first feeling was that Gu Qingfeng’s death was related to Bei Mingxuan.
"This is news from Shuzhou." Wanxin said as he handed an imperial edict to Chang'an.
[It has been confirmed. The Gu family, Gu Xiong, his sons, Gu Qingyun, Gu Qingfeng, and his grandsons, Gu Shirong, Gu Shijia, Gu Shirou, and Gu Changan, are members of the royal family of Shijin Kingdom.]
Many years ago, Gu Xiong changed his surname from Dongfang to Gu and sneaked into Shuzhou, attempting to overthrow our Shuzhou.
Years of conspiracy were revealed. Gu Xiong, a descendant of the royal family of Shijin Kingdom, joined forces with its crown prince Dongfang Ge and colluded with Beiming Ye, the fourth son of our Beiming Emperor, to murder the Shu Emperor.
After investigation and confirmation, the entire family was immediately beheaded.
Changan finished reading it, frowning, "I know this, but what does this have to do with my father?"
She looked at Nangong Rui, then at Wanxin, and then at Bailu, "Are you two talking?"
The three of them lowered their heads at the same time.
Changan blinked as if trying to think of an excuse, "I know about the Gu family and the Shijin royal family, and Bei Mingxuan also knows about it.
The Gu family's current situation is also destined, but why do you say that my father is dead? Why? "
She kept asking why.
Finally, he set his gaze on Wanxin, "Aunt, is there something wrong with your information?
My dad will be fine."
