Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine - Chapter 3568

Zhu Chengxuan looked up at her, and said with a complicated expression: “I may, understand what the father means.”

Gu Qiqing hurriedly asked, “What does the emperor mean?”

“…”

However, Zhu Chengxuan didn’t immediately answer her questions. Instead, he sat in the chair without saying a word. His whole body seemed to be pressed against something on his back. His whole body seemed heavy, and even his breathing became heavy.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qiqing’s heart seemed to cast a shadow.

Zhu Chengxuan’s appearance, obviously what he felt, was far more uncomfortable than what he had imagined before, and the worst situation made him feel like this.

Gu Qiqing didn’t urge him, but turned around to make a cup of tea, put it gently by his hand, then half squatted down, grabbed his hand with both hands and put it on his knee.

Zhu Chengxuan just lowered his head and could meet her gentle eyes.

Gu Qiqing said softly, “Can you tell me what your Highness thought?”

“…”

“Is it really worse than the worst situation that His Highness envisioned before?”

“…”

Zhu Chengxuan was silent for a while before speaking. His voice was also a little hoarse, and he said slowly: “Indeed, it is the worst idea.”

“…”

“But not us.”

Gu Qiqing frowned slightly: “Who is that?”

Zhu Chengxuan let out a deep breath, and then said, “It’s the royal father.”

“what?”

Gu Qiqing was even more puzzled, and looked at him with a frown: “Your Majesty? What do you mean?”

Zhu Chengxuan turned his head and glanced at the potted plant on the table again, and said slowly, “You are right, the noble concubine really wants to use this thing to tell us the arrangement of the father and the emperor, just like this potted plant, you can only cut it off. Only by removing those excess, old branches and leaves, can new branches and leaves come out and grow up well.”

Hearing this, Gu Qiqing immediately came back to his senses.

She also looked at the potted plant, and then said slowly, “Father, those old branches and leaves, the emperor cut him off to—”

Zhu Chengxuan said, “It’s for me.”

“…”

This does not seem to be difficult to understand.

But Gu Qiqing lowered his head and thought for a while, the expression on his face became more complicated, and said, “But, why?”

“…”

“My father has never been an obstacle to His Highness. On the contrary, my father has always supported His Highness.”

“…”

“Besides, it’s not like the emperor doesn’t know the relationship between his father and His Royal Highness, why should he deal with his father at this time?”

Zhu Chengxuan glanced at her and said, “It is precisely because of this time that I have to deal with my father-in-law.”

Gu Qiqing frowned: “What do you mean?”

Zhu Chengxuan said: “You know what the father and father-in-law quarreled about.”

Gu Qiqing said, “In order to send troops—”

After saying this, she suddenly paused and gasped involuntarily.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Chengxuan understood, and Gu Qiqing also understood.

He took a long sigh and said, “The reason why my father-in-law wants to prevent the father and emperor from using troops against the country this time does have his reasons. It is not just because the people don’t have a long time to recuperate, they may not be able to support such a big war. , In fact, there is one more important thing, that is, the body of the father.”

At this time, Gu Qiqing also felt chills all over her body, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead, she said softly, “The emperor’s dragon body—although everyone dares not say it explicitly, everyone knows in their hearts that one day is not as good as one day. Day. Just a few days ago, I also heard that the concubine and the concubine used the money from her private house to ask the father of Lu to buy a large amount of ginseng and send it to the palace, just to supplement the emperor on weekdays. ”

Zhu Chengxuan nodded: “My father is a taboo, and no one dares to persuade him in front of him, not even the concubine.”

“…”

“Father-in-law tried desperately to stop it this time, and it’s not for this reason.”

“…”

“But still can’t be persuaded.”

Gu Qiqing said: “But, does the emperor himself not care? Even if everyone doesn’t say it, he should know his own body—”

Zhu Chengxuan said: “Of course he knows.”

“…”

“Because I knew, I took this opportunity to dispose of my father-in-law.”

“…”

Gu Qiqing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to think, and suddenly understood.

Her face was pale, and her lips trembled for a long time when she spoke, and then she stammered: “You, Your Highness means, the emperor, he has already planned for the worst, this expedition may be, possible–”

She didn’t dare to say the last few words.

Zhu Chengxuan sighed and nodded.

Gu Qiqing was speechless.

Just now, Zhu Chengxuan was still making his own “worst plan” in his heart, because he had not been favored by His Majesty the Emperor since he was a child, and he, the prince, had always been trembling, and was even ready to be abolished at any time. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor on the other side was also making “the worst plan” for himself.

The worst-case scenario is that he might never come back at all.

In that case, the prince will take the throne directly.

However, the prince’s father-in-law, the emperor’s chief minister, and the chief assistant of the cabinet, his existence will inevitably overwhelm the prince, even if Gu Tingqiu is splendid, but he has a lot of power, and some things can’t help but be chosen, and naturally someone will put him Push up some dangerous positions.

Therefore, Zhu Feng made a countermeasure for his “worst plan”.

He is using this method to pave the way for the prince to have an unobstructed and unimpeded bright road.

Just thinking about it like this made Zhu Chengxuan feel heartache.

His royal father didn’t like him. He knew this from childhood to adulthood. Even if the relationship between the two was turned around because of the concubine’s multi-party mediation, there was a deep-rooted sense of alienation, which was always in the relationship between their father and son. between. He also knew that everything he had was hard-won, and he even prepared for the possibility of being taken away at any time.

I didn’t expect-

Looking at Zhu Chengxuan’s complicated expression, Gu Qiqing knew that he was a little dazed for a while, but he still asked softly, “Your Highness, what are your plans?”

“…”

Zhu Chengxuan was immersed in chaotic thoughts, and after a while, it seemed as if he had just heard her voice: “What?”

Gu Qiqing said, “Since the emperor has such a plan, what should His Highness do?”

“…”

Zhu Chengxuan was silent for a while, and immediately took a deep breath and said, “Since this is the case, then I can’t let the father and emperor use troops against the country!”

“…”

“Knowing that he might not come back, let alone let him go!”

Having said that, he immediately stood up and walked out impulsively.

Gu Qiqing squatted on the spot, as if thinking about something, but when Zhu Chengxuan walked to the door, she suddenly walked up to him and stopped him.

“Your Highness,”

She looked at Zhu Chengxuan with a complicated expression, and hesitated for a while before saying, “Your Highness, don’t go.”
