The carriage returned to silence, and Kou Yun'an's heart was turning countless circles.
As soon as His Majesty's imperial edict came today, he knew that the title of Marquis of Changping was in jeopardy.
Even if I recover, I may still be an idle person in the future.
But he still wanted to save his life, but he didn't know how to do it, and he was really helpless.
Marquis Changping did not even enter the mansion. He sent his son there and turned around to ask the coachman to go to the current Seventh Prince's Mansion.
He still has a big hurdle to overcome and needs to go through a trial.
As soon as he arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Marquis Changping clearly felt that the doorman's attitude towards him was very disdainful, and his face was full of disgust.
When I walked into the study, I heard countless sounds of beating and scolding, as well as a woman begging for mercy.
Not long after, a half-naked woman with wounds all over her body was carried out, already dead.
"My Lord, don't just stand there. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you inside. Please go in quickly."
Du Changming's personal eunuch was very disdainful of Marquis Changping and spoke in a condescending tone.
The Marquis of Changping was full of anger, but he dared not vent it. In front of Du Changming, he dared not offend his superiors, but he could not hide his complaints in his heart.
He had been deposed from the crown prince's position, yet he still wanted everyone in the palace to keep addressing him as the crown prince. This guy is really crazy.
If it gets out, it will be considered as disobeying the emperor's order, and the prince will be in trouble.
"Marquis Changping has arrived. I already know what happened at the Crown Prince's Mansion. I thought the Marquis was a great help to me, but it seems he is nothing special. Just a decree from my father sent you away. You really are getting bolder as you get older."
Du Changming looked at Marquis Changping with a strange light in his eyes.
If there was someone available around him, he would have wanted to get rid of this person as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, I am unable to help you. I do not know where Your Majesty got the information from, but you issued the decree so quickly."
Marquis Changping admitted his mistake obediently without any airs.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him is a prince or not, he is still a prince and he cannot afford to offend him.
"Of course someone tipped off. Although I haven't found out who that person is, you'd better be more careful in the future."
Du Changming nodded, without any blame in his tone.
Marquis Changping breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not blamed.
"It's just that you didn't handle this matter very well today, but don't think of giving up. You still have to do it. It depends on how you do it. But you must not let me down."
He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing this, he brought it up again.
I said Du Changming was difficult to deal with, but it turns out he was waiting for me here.
"I wonder what your Highness the Crown Prince means? Is there anything else I can do? I am under your watchful eye all day long, and some things are really inconvenient. There is little I can do to help you."
He quickly lowered his head, hiding the disgust in his eyes, and asked honestly.
Hearing him continue to call him Prince, Du Changming was very satisfied. He nodded at him and even his tone became much lighter.
"The Marquis is indeed sensible. He will naturally snatch your daughter away and give her to me. As long as Gu Yunni is brought out, the matter will be settled. She will not be able to become the Crown Prince's Consort. This will not only hit Sheng Mingyu, but also get the Phoenix Girl of Destiny. It's a two-pronged approach."
When he said this, the hatred in his eyes was so strong that it scared the Marquis of Changping.
I don’t know what Sheng Mingyu did to him that made him hate him so much?
"But Gu Yunni is always accompanied by the guards of the Prince's Mansion when she goes out. Even if I have great ability, I can't snatch her away. Moreover, she is very defensive against the Marquis' Mansion, so it is even more difficult to get her back."
Marquis Changping did not dare to agree and spoke hesitantly.
Du Changming frowned, looking dissatisfied.
"Didn't I tell you to think of a solution? Just think of it! If I can bring the person out, why would I need you to do the job? Just open your mouth and ask questions!"
He slammed the table so hard that the Marquis of Changping was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.
But no matter how much he was forced, Marquis Changping refused to agree.
Du Changming was so angry that his face turned blue.
"What do you mean by being so stubborn? Do you think I've put you in a difficult position and you don't want to agree to my request? Don't forget, you want to send your own daughter to the Seventh Prince's Palace to be the prince's consort, and your sickly son also needs me to find a miracle doctor for him. Do you really think you have the guts to yell at me?"
Du Changming couldn't stand this and threatened me.
Marquis Changping felt choked in the chest, unable to move up or down, but unable to refute.
"Yes, Your Highness is right. I will find a way to make sure you get what you want."
In desperation, Marquis Changping had no choice but to agree.
Du Changming was very satisfied and waved his hand to send the person away.
It was not until he got on the carriage that the Marquis of Changping lost his temper and started cursing.
"Bah! You really think you're the crown prince! You act bossy all day long. If it weren't for my magnanimity, I would report you to His Majesty and let him make the final decision!"
The groom trembled as he listened to the curses of the Marquis of Changping.
The Marquis has been going crazy lately. So what if Du Changming was stripped of his crown prince status? He's still the Seventh Prince, His Majesty's biological son.
Could it be that Your Majesty will still side with the Marquis of Changping's Mansion?
Coincidentally, Marquis Changping had just returned home, and his wife and Kou Mingxue had already walked to the door.
It's no wonder that the mother and daughter were unlucky. Marquis Changping was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he scolded them as soon as he saw them.
"How dare you two come back? If you hadn't been making things difficult for Gu Yunni all day, we wouldn't have caught His Majesty's eye and even been reprimanded by His Majesty! If today's events were to get to know my colleagues, I'm afraid they would laugh me to death!"
His face turned ashen, and he scolded the mother and daughter, leaving them stunned.
The wife of the Marquis of Changping endured for a long time, but could not help but roar in anger.
"The Marquis is so unreasonable. Wasn't he there supporting Gu Yunni when she was in trouble? Why is he putting the blame on us, mother and daughter, when something goes wrong? Is the Marquis innocent?"
No one expected that the wife of Marquis Changping would suddenly speak out, which scared Kou Mingxue so much.
She wanted to rush over and cover her mother's mouth, but was pushed aside.
She fell to the ground, scratched her palm, and her eyes were red.
"mother!"
The two of them seemed to treat her as invisible, and no one paid any attention to her and continued to quarrel.
"I know that the Marquis has long despised me. If you really don't like me, you might as well send me back to my parents' home. My parents' family is rich and powerful, and they don't need a bite of my food!"
She raised her head proudly, and now it was Marquis Changping who was stunned.
He almost forgot that his wife was also a lady from a wealthy family, and her father was guarding the border and had not returned yet.
It was fine before, but I heard that the emperor is planning to recall the generals from the border, so I’m afraid he’s going to come back.
In this case, how could Marquis Changping dare to act rashly?
"Madam, you're overthinking it. How dare I kick you out? I just think we shouldn't be so cruel to Yun Ni. But if you think I'm wrong, then I'll do as you wish."
