Chapter 333: Passively taking the beating, while Gu Chengyan was pressing forward step by step.
"That madman didn't do anything to her, right?" Gu Junze's voice trembled slightly.
The Third Prince shook his head. "He seems to be still waiting."
"What are you waiting for?" Gu Junze asked.
"Waiting for you to bow your head." A cold light flashed in the third prince's eyes.
"He wants you to watch."
Gu Junze clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
Of course he knew what Gu Chengyan wanted him to see.
That despicable bastard.
"It's us." The third prince changed the subject and his tone became serious.
"My fake brother can't wait any longer."
Gu Junze understood what the third prince was referring to.
Prince Su.
No, it’s Gu Chengyan.
He pretends to be Prince Su.
Step by step until today, the purpose is clear.
"He can't wait to sit in that seat." Gu Junze said coldly.
"The emperor made him the crown prince." The third prince sighed.
“It’s faster than we expected.”
Gu Junze closed his eyes.
Gu Chengyan’s distorted face appeared in my mind.
"He used Ming Fei to sow discord among the emperor." Gu Junze analyzed.
"Let the Emperor hate you."
The Third Prince nodded. "I don't know what kind of drug Ming Fei gave the old man. She obeys everything I say."
"The emperor is seriously ill now, he was made the crown prince, and you are trapped here." The third prince looked at Gu Junze with a questioning look in his eyes.
"What will he do next?"
Gu Junze took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and worry in his heart.
"He will find a way to ascend the throne as soon as possible."
"Then."
His eyes became sharp, "Kill all the troublemakers."
And the future troubles refer to them.
"We must act as soon as possible." Gu Junze said in a deep voice.
"Otherwise, it will be too late."
The Third Prince nodded, "The Imperial Guards have surrounded this place tightly."
“It’s hard for people outside to come in, and it’s hard for people inside to get out.”
This is the biggest dilemma they are facing now.
Passively taking a beating.
But Gu Chengyan was pressing forward step by step.
"Where is my secret guard?" Gu Junze asked.
"They are still outside." replied the third prince.
"But the Imperial Guards are too numerous. Forcing their way in will only lead to more casualties."
Gu Junze fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping the table again, making a regular sound.
This was his habit when he was thinking.
"He surrounded me." Gu Junze spoke slowly.
"It was to stop me from ruining his plan, and also to force me."
The Third Prince's eyes moved slightly, "What are you forcing me to do?"
"Force me to compromise," Gu Junze sneered, or, force me to make a mistake."
Gu Chengyan wanted to see him in despair.
I want to see him bow his head for Chu Ruohan, even at the cost of sacrificing everything.
This is Gu Chengyan's twisted revenge and also his self-righteous victory.
"We can't let him succeed." said the third prince.
"Absolutely not." Gu Junze's eyes became firm.
"He thought that by trapping me, he could rest easy."
"He was wrong, his biggest mistake."
Gu Junze looked at the third prince and spoke word by word.
"You underestimated my determination to join forces with you."
The third prince's lips curled up into a smile, "I underestimated your feelings for Chu Ruohan."
This feeling is Gu Junze's weakness.
It is also his strongest armor.
"He thought that if he could control Han'er," Gu Junze continued to analyze, "he could control me."
"But he ignored it because Han'er was in his hands."
"There's no way I'll bow down to him, and there's no way I'll let him succeed."
He wanted to save her, but also make Gu Chengyan pay the price.
"What we need to do now." Gu Junze stood up.
He walked to the window and looked at the strict imperial guards outside.
"It's to break the deadlock and let people outside know what's going on here."
“It also gives hope to the people inside.”
The third prince also stood up and walked to his side.
"You have an idea."
Gu Junze turned around with a deep look in his eyes.
"Gu Chengyan is anxious to ascend the throne. He will find a way to force the emperor to abdicate as soon as possible."
"or……"
He didn't say anything else.
But the third prince understood what he meant, that Gu Chengyan might attack the emperor.
This is their opportunity.
"The palace is the key." said the third prince.
"But the palace is heavily guarded, and Gu Chengyan must have deployed a large number of troops there."
"We are stuck here, how can we influence the palace?"
Gu Junze raised his hand.
Pointing to an inconspicuous decoration in the corner of the study.
It was a hollowed-out wooden sculpture. "I've been prepared for this."
His voice was deep and powerful. "Just in case."
The third prince looked at the wooden sculpture, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Gu Junze always thinks carefully and never puts all his hopes on external things.
"We need to spread the news." Gu Junze said.
"Let those ministers who are loyal to the emperor and to orthodoxy know the truth."
"Let them cause trouble in the court and restrain Gu Chengyan."
The third prince nodded, this was a plan to cut off the source of the problem.
Although Gu Chengyan was made the crown prince, his foundation was unstable.
As long as there is enough force to oppose him, his plans may be disrupted.
"But how do we get it out?" asked the third prince.
"The Imperial Guards surrounded us completely."
Gu Junze walked up to the wood carving and gently turned one of its parts.
There was a slight click from within the wood carving, revealing a hidden compartment.
There were some small things in the secret compartment, as well as a roll of paper tied with a red string.
"This is my channel for contacting the outside world." Gu Junze picked up the note.
There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
"But this can only convey the most basic information. We need a more detailed plan."
He asked Yingqing to teach martial arts to the children of court ministers at that time, and it can always be used now.
The third prince walked forward and looked at the note in Gu Junze's hand.
"We don't have much time. Gu Chengyan may take action at any time."
Gu Junze handed the note to the Third Prince, "Let's act separately."
"You are responsible for delivering the information, and I will be responsible for contacting the forces within the mansion."
Although he was under house arrest, the General's Mansion was his territory and there were always some unknown forces.
"Okay." The third prince took the note.
His eyes became firm, "I'll do it right away."
"Remember," Gu Junze warned, "be careful."
"Gu Chengyan's people may be everywhere."
The third prince nodded and carefully put the note away.
"You should take care of yourself too, especially."
He paused, "Chu Ruohan's side."
Gu Junze's eyes instantly became gentle, yet fierce.
"She'll be fine."
His voice was quiet, but full of unquestionable determination.
The third prince didn't say anything else. He knew Gu Junze's determination and the worries in his heart.
He turned and walked quickly towards the door, where the imperial guards were still guarding.
