At this time, Song He let go of his hand.

After he took two steps back, he looked at the completely panicked Concubine Xian in front of him with a half-smile.

He smiled and said to the others, "Last night, we first killed Fan You for the queen, and then intercepted the prince's troops for the queen, and took away the Fan family in advance."

"Otherwise, the years of planning between Her Majesty and His Highness the Fourth Prince will be ruined today."

Empress Xian didn't know how Song He knew all these things, but she had never doubted his abilities and means.

After all, she is not a little girl anymore.

After many years of ups and downs and being one of the four concubines, even if she was nervous and at a loss, she quickly came to her senses under Song He's gaze.

Since Song He came to her and told her about this instead of reporting it to His Majesty, it means that he wants to cooperate with her.

"What do you want to do?" she asked, staring at Song He.

Song He looked at her and said, "I think the queen should know."

Empress Xian frowned.

What could she know?

He, Song Zhangyin, is the prime minister of the palace, the ancestor of a lot of people, and is respected by countless people. Although she is Empress Xian, what can she give him?

When she saw Song He's venomous gaze lingering on her exposed neck, Concubine Xian's body suddenly stiffened.

Suddenly, old memories flooded into my mind.

With a bang, Empress Xian's face suddenly turned blue and then red.

She clenched her fists and wanted to scold Song He for being a bastard, but when she thought of the evidence in Song He's hands, Empress Xian gritted her teeth and quickly calmed down.

She said nothing.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Song He was filled with hatred and malice that could not be concealed.

He. Dreams!

When Song He saw this, he laughed even more happily.

He didn't say a word, but smiled and said to her as if he was stating the facts: "We are waiting for the queen."

"One day, the queen will come to our house and beg for mercy, just like she did before."

After Song He finished speaking, he left with a smile.

Empress Xian watched him leave, and she really wanted to take a knife and stab this eunuch in the chest!

But in the end——

All she could do was watch Song He leave with hatred.

After watching Song He leave, Concubine Xian seemed to have completely lost her strength. She took two steps back, held onto the palace wall with her hands, and after she stood firm with a long sigh, she turned around with a sullen face and went back to the palace.

But in his mind he kept thinking about what Song He had said before.

This person is the least likely to let herself suffer losses. If she disagrees, will he present the evidence of the Fan family to His Majesty?

And in Wende Hall...

Thinking of Yue Qing, whose current condition was still unknown, Concubine Xian felt extremely anxious and could not rest in peace.

……

Hall of Wende.

Gu Changxuan knelt on the ground.

The teacup at his feet was shattered on the ground and his forehead was hurting badly.

Even without touching it, I could feel that my forehead was definitely swollen.

Just for a moment, when he was hit by the teacup, Gu Changxuan's brain was confused. Even now, his head was still buzzing.

There seem to be countless noisy sounds around my ears.

Although my brain is confused.

But the habit he had developed since childhood still made Gu Changxuan's brain start working quickly.

Li Chang and the prince are both here.

Father is like this again.

It seems that his collusion with Li Chang should have been exposed.

He has always been cautious in his actions and thought that since he held Li Chang's lifeline, he would be able to make him obey his orders, but he did not expect that something went wrong.

But Li Chang’s matter is better than Mingyue Tower’s matter.

Mingyue Tower is a matter of public welfare, and so many people have died. If his father really knew that he was involved in this matter, even if Hua Tuo were still alive, he would be powerless to save the situation.

Let alone competing for the throne, I'm afraid he will never be able to rise again in this lifetime!

"Say!"

"Why did you bribe Li Chang? What do you want to do?" In front of him, the angry voice of Emperor Zhenguang sounded above his head.

Gu Changxuan had no way to defend himself on this matter.

But he had become much more sober by now, with his head bowed to the ground, in a prostrate, kneeling posture, and he did not explain his connection with Li Chang.

He just said: "Father, please forgive me. I did contact Lord Li a few times, but I never wanted to do anything."

"Three years ago, my son saved a woman by chance. She turned out to be Lord Li's sister. Later, Lord Li invited my son to dinner to thank him."

"After that, my son interacted with Lord Li several times, but they were all just gentlemen. My son asked Lord Li about my elder brother, but my son did this, but, but..."

"But what?" Emperor Zhenguang asked in a deep voice following his words.

Gu Changxuan seemed a little hesitant.

He hesitated for a while before continuing, "My son is just afraid of becoming the second Third Brother..."

Gu Changze, who was drinking tea at the side, paused when he heard this.

He had never looked at Gu Changxuan at first.

At this moment, his eyes fell on him.

His fourth brother is really a pleasant surprise. He must have been blinded by a sparrow in the past, which is why he focused all his attention on dealing with the third brother and forgot about this person who really has a promising future.

It was really thanks to that note.

Otherwise, he didn't know how much he would suffer at the hands of his fourth brother.

"Does Fourth Brother sound like he's blaming me?"

Gu Changze put down the teacup in his hand while speaking, and patted the crease on his knees leisurely. His expression seemed to be half-smiled, and his words were calm: "So what Fourth Brother meant is that because of fear in your heart, you can collude with my teacher. Then, if Fourth Brother is afraid of Father in the future, can you also plant spies around Father? In case of emergency, huh?"

When Gu Changxuan heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

What those in power fear most is that their affairs will be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

Therefore, those who can become the people around them have to go through layers of screening and assessment before they can stay.

When it comes down to it, the three of them, father and son, are the same at heart.

Gu Changxuan rarely trusts anyone except Tong Ke and Feng Li, and the same goes for Gu Changze. So their father, the current emperor, will be even more wary!

Emperor Zhenguang, who had been slightly relieved, turned ugly again after hearing what Gu Changze said.

Before Gu Changxuan could think of a solution, his angry voice rang out again: "At this point, you still dare to quibble!"

"I used to think you were well-behaved and obedient, and more filial than your brothers. Now it seems that I was really blind!"

"Go away, go back to your mansion and reflect on your actions. I don't want to see you!"

"Father..."

Gu Changxuan's face turned completely pale this time.

But Emperor Zhenguang was so angry at the moment, how could he pay any attention to him? He immediately waved his sleeves and angrily said, "Get out of here!"

Gu Changxuan also knew that it would be a mistake to say more at this time, so he could only respond and retreat.

He bowed and stepped back.

Chungnyeong stepped forward and patted Emperor Jeongguang on the back.

Gu Changze poured another cup of tea for Emperor Zhenguang.

From beginning to end, the other person involved, Li Chang, never said a word.

Emperor Zhenguang took two sips of the tea that Gu Changze handed over, and then asked him, "What are you going to do with your teacher?"

Gu Changze said: "Don't keep disloyal people around my son."

Emperor Zhenguang didn't say anything when he heard this.

As the crown prince, the next emperor of Daqian, he naturally cannot have such disloyal people around him.

"Since they are yours, I will leave them to you to deal with."

Gu Changze nodded in agreement.

"As for the fourth one——"

Emperor Zhenguang still felt a headache when talking about Gu Changxuan.

Before, he thought that this son was the most sensible, but now it seems that this son is the most dormant.

He was also a little frightened.

I didn't expect that this fourth boy had so many talents inside that he could fool everyone.

"Your fourth brother behaved badly, and you have been wronged this time."

"Let me think about how to deal with it."

Gu Changze naturally wouldn't say anything else.

What he wanted was for his father to lose trust in Gu Changxuan. Once a person loses trust, he will become vulnerable.

Gu Changze said yes again.

When the emperor showed his fatigue before meeting him, he said again: "I'm sorry to have made you worry."

When Emperor Zhenguang heard this, he felt even more tired and weak.

The sons are not harmonious.

How could he be at ease? How could he not worry?

He sighed and said nothing. He just held Gu Changze's hand and patted it gently, then let him take Li Chang away.

After everyone left, Emperor Zhenguang became completely depressed. He sighed, "My sons..."

Zhongning knew what he was feeling.

But as a eunuch, it was useless for him to comfort her even if he wanted to. Fortunately, a timely rain came from outside.

Soon after the prince left, someone came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Chang'an wishes to see you."
