The news of Prince Yong's imprisonment soon spread to the streets of the capital. The emperor ordered people to conceal the reason for his imprisonment, but the people still made groundless speculations.

"Prince Yong is in prison, why doesn't his wife go to the emperor to plead for mercy?"

"How sad! Marrying a man really doesn't work. You can only share wealth, but not adversity!"

"Why do you say that, Lord Wen? It's obvious that Prince Gu was so successful that he left the capital without asking the Emperor for permission, and that's why he was arrested and brought back! I think Lord Wen was completely implicated!"

"Is this the truth? No wonder... But why did this prince want to leave the capital? Is he really used to going in and out of the border and doesn't follow any rules?"

"I don't think so. Guess where the prince went? Xinzhou! The Shen brothers just moved to the Xinzhou mansion!"

"What does this mean? The prince is dissatisfied with the emperor's reward to the Shen family and wants to chase after them in person to protest to the emperor?"

"Then who knows..."

There were many different opinions at that time. Some said that the prince and Wen Shilang were not in love, Wen Shilang had no interest in the prince, and the prince went to find an old friend to relieve his boredom, and was arrested when he left the capital. Some said that the prince wanted to win a favor for his old friend, but the emperor did not agree, so he was protesting to the emperor. What's more, even the news that Gu Changfeng broke off the engagement and fell in love with his old friend Shen Mingjue was spread.

Gu Changli, who was sitting in the Yangxin Palace, had a particularly severe headache.

He regretted enough that he had imprisoned Gu Changfeng in a fit of rage. In the past few days, he had seen that all the memorials were pleading for Gu Changfeng, but it was difficult to make the final decision. Why couldn't he always be cruel or soft-hearted?

How about asking someone to bring some delicious food to my brother in the evening? In all these days, my brother didn't say a word, and he looked like he would stay in jail if the engagement wasn't cancelled.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Gu Changli was just feeling worried when he heard his personal eunuch shouting in fear.

"What's wrong? You are so reckless! How do you become the chief eunuch?" He almost wanted to vent all his anger on this man.

Li Xue naturally knew what the emperor was worried about recently, but the current situation made him unable to care about so much.

"Your Majesty can punish me at any time, but I have an urgent matter to report to Your Majesty! General Shen brought back the head of Knasu, the former leader of the grassland tribe!"

"What did you say?" Gu Changli slammed the table, a little excited. He had been fleeing from the grassland tribe for a while, but was finally found by them. You know, this person almost killed his brother, and also pulled out the tongue of the young general of the Shen family and killed General Shen.

Li Xue naturally didn't want such a "good thing" to happen to Gu Changfeng, but Lord Shen Mingyuan was already kneeling in front of the Yangxin Palace!

Gu Changli didn't know how to describe his feelings. For a moment he actually felt that this was all planned by his brother. He wanted to force him to grant the marriage personally and then take back the order, forcing him... to abdicate!

He blinked. Emotionally he didn't want to make such malicious assumptions about Gu Changfeng, but the reality was that he had begun to have different suspicions. In the past he could say that it was because Li Xue often whispered in his ear that he had misunderstood the situation, but now he could not blame anyone else.

Gu Changli is such a narrow-minded person. His brother has gone into danger several times for himself and the country and almost lost his life, but he only cares about whether the lofty throne is threatened.

"Take me to see him." Gu Changli felt sad and didn't know what to do.
