Gu Shichong sneered: He just picked up a woman he looked down upon, what is there to brag about?
As he thought about this, a wave of bitterness surged in his heart, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. "What happens to you and your wife is none of my business, but if you dare to discuss my father's illness outside the palace gates, you are courting death."
He glanced at Sui Yunlang, who reeked of alcohol, and took a few steps closer, stopping beside Huo Wuyou. "You brought an ignorant doctor into the palace. I don't know what your purpose is, but trespassing into the palace at night is a crime punishable by death. I can apprehend you in a logical manner."
Huo Wuyou didn't look at him. Just like before, he casually placed his hand on Gu Shichong's shoulder and said in a voice that only they could hear, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about this? If there really is something else behind His Majesty's illness, and the person who tampered with it isn't Your Highness, then who else could it be?"
If he had not done anything wrong, then the most likely person would be Gu Shimin.
Huo Wuyou only felt Gu Shichong's breathing pause for a moment, and then he sneered, "Marquis Lin'an, you are too cunning. If I let you into the palace, who knows after tonight, will this person who tampered with my father's illness become my king inexplicably?"
Hearing this, Huo Wuyou suddenly smiled, his laughter carrying the same casual tone as usual: "Your Highness, as a prince, when will you be able to take charge of the palace? Since you have a way to let me into the palace, how can my every move not be under your watchful eyes?"
In other words, since Gu Shichong can decide whether to let someone into the palace, the way he releases people naturally cannot be a legitimate method. What this means is that he has his own spies in the palace. Since he has spies in the palace, he naturally has a way to keep a close eye on Huo Wuyou's every move.
Gu Shichong was slightly stunned, somewhat regretting that his subconscious words had given him room for criticism.
But Huo Wuyou said, "Since that's the case, Your Highness, why don't you make a bet and bet on whether it's me or the person who really caused the trouble who should die tonight?"
Gu Shichong's eyes became alert and suspicious: what Huo Wuyou said was not without reason. If they could really find out that Prince Cheng harmed his father, then Gu Shimin would be completely finished. If they could not find out, Huo Wuyou, the man who broke into the palace at night, would also be dead. Not only would the position of the commander of the Cavalry Battalion be vacant, but the couple of thieves would also become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks.
Even...if his father died unexpectedly because of this, Huo Wuyou would be the regicide, and he, a prince who had no power to control the palace gates and knew nothing, could succeed to the throne with a clear conscience.
Thinking of this, he slapped away Huo Wuyou's hand on his shoulder, turned around and whispered a few words to the follower beside him, and the follower left.
Looking at Huo Wuyou, he showed contempt: A minister who only sees the honor and favor in front of him and delusionally wants to make merit through such means is really hopelessly stupid. He is the same as that little bitch Xue Zhiyi, both are extremely short-sighted fools, and they are a perfect match!
"Marquis Lin'an has done everything he can to gain the favor of the Emperor, but he only cares about the present, without any foresight. He is like weeds after autumn, and will not survive until spring."
Huo Wuyou seemed not to understand and only smiled and said, "After the arrival of winter, the cold wind is bleak. It may not be just the weeds that survive until spring."
