Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Grand Consort Yu had done to the former empress, Madam Chi, back then was actually taken revenge by her biological granddaughter so many years after Madam Chi’s death.
Grand Consort Yu looked crazy, her eyes bloodshot and red. Her eyes almost popped out as she stared fixedly at Gu Nuo’er.
After a long while, she suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed wildly. “Alright, Madam Chi, you’ve won in the end. It turns out that I lost because I don’t have such a good granddaughter.”
“You’re already dead, but she still wants to seek justice for you, causing me to be in such a sorry state. I’ve worked hard for my entire life, but all I have left is infamy.”
As Grand Consort Yu spoke, she laughed crazily and quickly cried again, cursing the late emperor for being heartless.
Gu Yihan waved his sleeve with a cold expression. “Take her away and pour boiling water down her throat according to what I said. Burn her tongue so that even if she goes to the netherworld, she’s not worthy of talking to my mother!” “Yes!” The imperial guards dragged the already crazy Grand Consort Yu away.
Gu Rao took a few steps forward on her knees and looked at Gu Yihan pleadingly. “Your Majesty, please spare me. I was instructed by Grand Consort Yu. It wasn’t my intention to make the drugging attempt!”
Gu Yihan stared at her, the killing intent in his eyes not dissipating.
However, he seemed to have thought of something and looked down at his precious daughter.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and immediately raised her two small hands to cover her ears.
“Father, Baby Nuo can’t hear you anymore. You can rest a.s.sured and say what you want-
The child looked delicate and obedient.
She knew that her father would take her feelings into consideration every time and no longer killed the innocent.
However, everyone in Grand Consort Yu’s family was purely bad.
How could they be spared?
When Gu Yihan saw that the child had covered her ears, he immediately stopped having reservations.
He looked up and stared coldly at Gu Rao.
“It wasn’t your intention to use the drug, but you listened to her words and had the intention to harm others. You already have such thoughts. I can’t keep you.”
Gu Yihan immediately said in a deep voice, “Pa.s.s down the order. The deposed
Prince Guang, his wife, and their children are to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate in three days.”
Gu Rao’s cries were sharp and she kept begging for mercy.
The effects of the drug on Gu Xinghan seemed to have worn off a lot and he was also shocked back to his senses by this imperial edict.
He hurriedly knelt and said, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don’t kill me! I know a secret that my father only mentioned to me!”
Gu Xinghan was afraid that Gu Yihan didn’t want to listen.
Therefore, he said the most important keyword. “I suspect that my father, Gu Yongxuan, has colluded with foreign countries to try to bring down our empire and commit treason!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was beyond astonished.
It could be said that everyone was shocked.
Prince Guang was the late emperor’s biological son!
He actually colluded with other countries?!
This was a serious matter. Would Gu Xinghan spout nonsense to save his life?
Probably not.
This was because if he was lying, Gu Yihan would find out after investigating and execute him even more mercilessly.
Gu Xinghan dared to say this because he was really willing to come clean at all costs to save his life.
Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er turned around and gently tugged at the emperor’s sleeve.
She lowered her voice and said softly, “Father, lock him up first and send guards to guard him heavily and interrogate him.”
Gu Yihan also knew that Taiqing Palace wasn’t a good place for interrogation.
Therefore, he raised his chin.
Eunuch Chunshou immediately understood. He waved his hand and gestured to the imperial guards. “Lock Gu Xinghan up alone and keep him under strict supervision!”
Gu Rao was pulled away.
However, Gu Xinghan survived because he had grasped a shocking secret.
Everyone couldn’t help but shiver from the meal in Taiqing Palace..
