Chapter 52 How can a prince cry so much?
On that day, Lin Xingyao entered the palace with the brothers Gu Chengan and Gu Chengyan.
Kneeling outside the imperial study.
Princess Anyang is the emperor's biological sister. She made great military achievements during her lifetime and even went against public opinion and helped the current emperor to succeed to the throne when the country was in danger.
If she hadn't risked her life time and time again on the battlefield, how could she have died?
Her only child was paralyzed from the waist down by Gu's mother, and it is unknown how long he can live.
The emperor wanted to cut that vicious woman into pieces to vent his hatred.
The memorial on the imperial desk was thrown out fiercely, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"They still have the nerve to beg me! That vicious woman with a heart as vicious as a snake and scorpion is simply unforgivable!"
The eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground.
Steward Ma hurried forward to console him, "Your Majesty, calm down. The young princess of Prince Yong's mansion is still pregnant. If anything happens to her outside of the Imperial Study, Prince Yong will come to the palace and cry again."
"Why not let me explain it to them..."
The emperor snorted coldly, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, "Since they are willing to kneel, then let them kneel. I want to see how long they can hold out!"
The emperor shook his sleeves angrily and sat back on the throne, his chest still heaving violently.
The hall fell into deathly silence for a moment.
Lin Xingyao naturally wouldn't kneel with them all the time, as she was pregnant.
In just half an hour, her legs were numb and would definitely turn bruises if she knelt down again. Her body went limp and she fell to the side.
"The princess fainted!" the palace maid beside her shouted in panic.
The palace servants immediately became confused and carried her away.
Gu Cheng'an looked up and knew that she was pretending to faint. He didn't intend to let Lin Xingyao kneel there forever.
If this drama is well-planned, Prince Yong will definitely be able to save his mother if he comes forward.
As long as I can survive, be imprisoned, and spend the rest of my life atonement...
The marquis' wife, who was once respected and prized, is now a prisoner.
A square prison with dim light, messy and damp floor, and coarse prison food.
Mother Gu clutched the bars of the prison door tightly with both hands and yelled at the outside at the top of her lungs: "My son is the prince! He is the prince..."
Her voice became hoarse and sharp due to excessive effort, and it bounced back and forth between the walls of the cell, echoing terrifyingly.
The jailers were gathered together, drinking and chatting, and were distracted by the sudden shouting.
One of the jailers spat impatiently and cursed, "This crazy woman still doesn't know what's good for her. She really thinks she's still the domineering mistress of the Marquis's mansion!"
As he said this, he picked up the whip beside him and stormed into the cell where Gu's mother was imprisoned.
With a "snap!", the jailer whipped her hard with the whip in his hand.
Mother Gu seemed to feel no pain and suddenly burst into crazy laughter, "Hahaha..."
The jailer's laughter was creepy.
"You old woman, are you really crazy?" The jailer couldn't help but take a step back.
But he was enraged by her laughter, and raised the whip again, hitting her all over the head.
Whip after whip.
Even after being tired of beating her, Mother Gu was still smiling, mumbling incoherently, "Bastard, bastard..."
"You're crazy! These things are useless to you. Give them all to me!" The jailer muttered as he pulled off the gold hairpin on Gu's mother's head, the jade bracelet on her hand and other jewelry one by one and put them into his arms.
After collecting everything, he spat in disgust and turned to leave.
As soon as he reached the cell door, the jailer saw Chu Ruohan standing there.
The jailer's expression instantly changed, full of flattery. "Madam, why did you come to such a filthy place?"
"This woman is crazy, please don't hurt you." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the jewelry in his hand. He tried to hide it behind his back in a panic, stammering: "This...this..."
She glanced at the jailer calmly and said, "Okay, go down."
The jailer felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly nodded and bowed as he retreated, closing the cell door tightly.
Chu Ruohan arrived as early as when the jailer was whipping Gu's mother, and just kept looking at her coldly.
Mother Gu, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, squatted on the ground, her hands tightly hugging her knees, her body curled up into a ball, and she kept muttering: "Bastards... all bastards..."
Chu Ruohan frowned slightly. She had set up such a big scheme and gone through so much trouble, not just to make her crimes known to the public.
She came here just to ask Gu's mother for the antidote.
But now.
"Do you think she's really crazy?"
"Just try it and you'll know." Song Ruyan smiled sinisterly.
Chu Ruohan glanced sideways, what was she going to do?
Don’t mess around!
At this time, it started raining outside again, and in a moment it became a downpour.
Gu Cheng'an and Gu Chengyan were still kneeling outside the imperial study. Raindrops as big as beans fell on them, freezing them to the bone, and soon their clothes were soaked.
Prince Yong finally arrived, and the young eunuch followed him hurriedly, holding an umbrella for him.
He strode forward without looking around, and didn't even glance at Gu Cheng'an as he passed by.
If his daughter hadn't sent someone to ask him for help, he wouldn't have cared about this matter.
He was even more dissatisfied with Gu Cheng'an. How could the son raised by such a vicious woman be a good person?
Steward Ma came out to greet him, "Your Highness, it's raining so hard, why are you here?"
Before he could finish his words, Prince Yong burst into tears.
Manager Ma shuddered and thought to himself: Here we go again.
How can he cry so much?
A real man can cry freely and not feel ashamed.
Prince Yong, however, completely ignored other people's opinions, walked into the imperial study, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty, if I can't repay this debt of our children, I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die!"
The emperor picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it hard. The cup broke into several pieces next to Prince Yong, and the tea splashed on the corner of his clothes.
"Why are you closing your eyes? You are only a few years older than me, so stop pretending!" The emperor shouted angrily. He was extremely disgusted with Prince Yong's pretentious look. He was always like this when something happened.
The trick of crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to hang oneself has always worked.
Even Marquis Anyang didn't come, but he, a relative-in-law, came all the way.
Prince Yong cried even louder, "The children said that they only ask that the vicious woman be spared, and the rest will be punished by the emperor."
The emperor was annoyed by Prince Yong's crying. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Forget it, let her hand over the antidote. As long as Jun Ze can live, she can live too."
"If anything happens to Junze, she will pay with her life! This is already the maximum limit of my tolerance, so please don't keep pestering me."
When Prince Yong heard this, his crying stopped abruptly, and he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
"roll."
After thanking the emperor for his grace, Gu Cheng'an and Gu Chengyan hurried out of the palace to ask their mother for the antidote.
Gu Chengyan's heart sank. If his elder brother recovered, then the position of the crown prince...
