Chapter Four: Above Ten Thousand!



Heaven can bear witness, Gu Mu only wanted to see beautiful women.

But something seems a little off.

Half an hour passed...

The gist of the story is that Shen Ling is allergic to bracken root, so the little green tea Ma Shishi deliberately ground bracken root into powder and added it to Shen Ling's tea.

Therefore, Shen Ling's face has been allergic for years, covered with red spots. Because of her previous trust in Xiao Lv Cha Ma Shi Shi, she thought it was a skin problem.

The reborn Shen Ling changed the tea ahead of time.

Then, in front of the prince—that is, Gu Mu.

He exposed Ma Shishi's actions on the spot.

"If the prince doesn't love your princess, then your princess is nothing."

"Isn't your young lady the same? She tries every means to seduce the prince, just to climb the social ladder?"

...

Gu Mu was even more surprised that after the two main characters finished their scene, there was a scene of their respective maids cursing each other.

He really just wanted to see a beautiful woman.

Why,

meeting,

So complicated?

Gu Mu turned and left, no longer able to tolerate the noise, and returned to his room.

Collapsed onto the bed...

I'm mentally exhausted.

Is this what female-oriented fiction is like?

Even if I were to unify the world and have three thousand beauties surrounding my harem, would I still have to be a background character in palace intrigues?

Gu Mu felt that he could not stop striving until the frequency replacement plan was successfully completed.

The assassin, who claimed that "even when I'm hidden, everyone can see me," infiltrated the residences of various officials under the Empress's influence, gathering intelligence and sending a considerable amount of information to Gu Mu via carrier pigeon.

However, they still did not obtain any key clues about the palace coup.

On the afternoon of the day before the emperor's death, Gu Mu finally received an important clue.

It turned out that the Empress had been poisoning the Emperor. It was a slow-acting poison that initially only caused a decrease in the body's resistance, and even the imperial physicians couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After many years, the poison had penetrated deep into the internal organs, and there was no cure.

The person cannot be saved.

However, according to the clues, the poison in the emperor's body is not enough to cause him to die tonight.

It must have been the Empress who prepared everything tonight, hastening the Emperor's death.

It's just...outrageous...

He was poisoned to death by his own wife...

Gu Mu felt a chill in the otherwise silent world of female-oriented novels.

Oh right, he also has a wife who makes him suffer terribly.

"It seems that no one is much better than anyone else." As a prince, Gu Mu had already accumulated a certain amount of power through years of meticulous planning.

He immediately instructed some of his trusted subordinates to notify the various factions that had chosen to submit to him to rush to the palace.

He himself hurried to the palace.

This is a righteous act, the first step in the major frequency replacement plan.

At the first step, they were stopped by the Queen's men at the palace gate.

Gu Mu sat on horseback; fortunately, he possessed considerable martial prowess.

A long spear, unstoppable by gods or Buddhas.

"Emperor, danger!"

"Save the Emperor!"

With a shout, all his men followed him into the palace.

In an instant, blood flowed like a river outside the city walls.

This was a palace coup, worthy of being recorded in history.

Having fought his way through the enemy lines, Gu Mu rode his horse all the way to the emperor's palace.

The emperor's bedroom appeared quiet, seemingly unrelated to the fighting outside.

Gu Mu knew that it was the blood on his spear and the men who had fought behind him that allowed him to come and see the emperor one last time.

This might really be the last time we see each other.

Pushing open the door to the emperor's bedroom, one can hear the emperor coughing from behind the screen.

The emperor's aged voice echoed in the palace: "You say... the two sons you bore for me are not mine?"

Another violent coughing fit ensued, and he coughed up blood.

Gu Mu rushed to the emperor's bedside and grasped the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue!"

The emperor's eyes widened, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his previously despairing gaze.

It turned out that, as he lay dying, there was another prince who was out there fighting on the front lines, giving him the last bit of warmth in his life.

He stared intently at Gu Mu, then suddenly smiled: "You are a good son."

He struggled to raise his hand and tightly grasped Gu Mu's hand, then tilted his head and closed his eyes forever.

Gu Mu held tightly in his hand the last thing the emperor had given him.

It is half of a tiger tally.

Something that everyone in the previous life searched for their entire lives but could not find.

Perhaps in a past life, the emperor hid her inside his body and took her to his coffin.

As for how he hid it in his past life, no one will know.

Because it's now in Gu Mu's hands.

The Empress was prepared; before Gu Mu could make a move, many ministers and soldiers rushed in. Holding an imperial edict, the Empress announced the young emperor's ascension to the throne.

That is, her son who was under twelve years old.

Everything seemed to be almost exactly the same as in the previous life, returning to the original trajectory.

But Gu Mu gripped the military token tightly; things were still changing. The butterfly effect accumulated little by little, and the plot of this world would undergo tremendous changes.

He stood up, turned his back to the emperor lying on the bed, and strode forward.

In her previous life, the original owner was caught off guard by the emperor's sudden death and the imperial edict in the empress's hand.

Nevertheless, without any preparation, the original owner still managed to seize the position of regent through her power, shattering the empress's fantasy of becoming empress dowager and then ruling as regent.

This time, there was no suspense whatsoever.
