After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

The third prince took a breath secretly!

My goodness, he is afraid that his father won’t believe his memorial!

After all, this matter was done in a hurry, so there are bound to be mistakes.

Unexpectedly, the fourth brother admitted it in his own secret report?

The Third Prince couldn't hold back his ecstasy, "Fourth Prince, how could you do such a stupid thing!"

"Yes! How could you be so confused!" The emperor also scolded him.

Kill this evil villain with corrupt morals, who cheats in marriages and dowries, and sells his wife for fame!

They couldn't even kill them all! And the third brother caught them!

He didn't know that the fourth brother was now so slow and cumbersome!

Besides, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, can't we wait until it is clear before killing him? !

Chu Yanchen looked at the third prince suspiciously, then bowed to the emperor.

“Father, Third Brother, why do you say that I killed Gu Qingshan? I didn’t kill him.”

“Oh, you still don’t admit it? Gu Qingshan was burned to death in the street, and his fish talisman was found!” The third prince glared at Chu Yanchen.

It's too late to deny it now!

“How did Third Brother know that it was Gu Qingshan? And how did he know that I was the one who killed him?” Chu Yanchen suddenly asked in a deep voice, with his aura fully released.

He has a murderous aura that comes from a real battlefield.

The third prince was immediately shocked.

The Third Prince's aura involuntarily became less imposing.

The Third Prince was furious, “Someone saw Gu Qingshan coming out of your house and getting on that carriage! The carriage overturned and caught fire on the street, the people inside were burned to death, and Gu Qingshan’s fish talisman was found on their bodies!”

"Fourth brother, do you have anything else to say?"

Chu Yanchen frowned and said meaningfully, "Third brother knows more than me."

“Your Majesty, Gu Qingshan was indeed at my house a few days ago. I was questioning him about an old case.”

"But he has already left, and I have never killed him."

The third prince sneered and was about to ask someone to bring the coachman up.

But a guard outside the palace said, "Your Majesty!"

"The Changning Marquisate reported that Gu Qingshan has been found. He lost his mind in gambling at the casino and mortgaged his fish tokens. Now he has been brought back to the Marquisate."

"Madam Song of the Marquis's Mansion begs the Emperor to grant her request to divorce her husband."

The Third Prince was stunned when he heard this, "What? Gu Qingshan found it? This is impossible!"

Chu Yanchen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Why is Third Brother so shocked?"

"As if you saw a dead person come back to life?"

The third prince stared at Chu Yanchen in a daze. Wasn’t it that the dead person... was alive again?

His men clearly saw Gu Qingshan get on the carriage, which overturned and the people inside burned to death!

unless……

The third prince looked at Chu Yanchen in shock and anger - unless he was deliberately misleading him!

"It's you……"

The emperor cleared his throat, "Third Brother, Gu Qingshan is not dead, what else do you have to say?"

The Third Prince pursed his lips, clasped his hands and bowed, "I may have made a mistake."

The emperor showed disappointment in the third prince on his face.

The third prince felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

The disappointment on his father's face made him feel more uncomfortable than the scolding.

"Well, please leave." The emperor no longer looked at him.

The third prince felt heavy in his heart, and it would be more satisfying if his father just scolded him.

Instead, it was the disappointment that made him feel suffocated.

The third prince exited the hall, left the palace, and got on the carriage.

His subordinates said in the car, "Sir, the spy we planted in Prince Jing's Mansion... is dead."

The Third Prince was stunned when he heard this and looked up at his subordinate's face.

"It was he who was burned to death in the carriage."

The Third Prince's breathing stagnated and he was filled with shock and anger.

"Good for you, Old Four!"

He thought he could finally sue the fourth brother!

Unexpectedly, he was fooled by the fourth brother!

“How is that possible? They are watching! The one who got on the car from the corner gate was clearly Gu Qingshan!” The Third Prince asked suspiciously.

“It’s true that the person who got on the car was Gu Qingshan, but the car went around in circles a few times during the journey… maybe they replaced the car with another one at that time.”

The third prince was exhausted both physically and mentally. He leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed.

"What exactly did the fourth brother secretly report to the emperor today?"

……

In the hall, the father and son sat in silence.

The emperor looked down at Chu Yanchen's secret report.

The emperor was already familiar with the above content, but he was still a little hesitant about the next arrangements.

Chu Yanchen suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Father, Gu Qingshan plotted against the royal family, concealed the truth, and put my flesh and blood in danger many times."

"Your son requests that Song Mingli and his mother be brought back and their identities be recognized. The entire Gu family will be imprisoned and await judgment."

The emperor frowned and looked up, looking at Chu Yanchen suspiciously.

"You want to take back Song Mingli and his son? In what capacity?"

Chu Yanchen's eyes were calm and firm, "Of course, as your son's wife."

The emperor's mouth twitched, "Just... just take it back like that?"

Chu Yanchen hesitated for a moment, "Three matchmakers, six betrothals, eight sedan chair bearers, and a ten-mile wedding dress are all fine."

emperor:……

Did he mean it?

What he meant was that Song Mingli had been married for so many years after all.

Although Jingyou is the son of the fourth brother, he has been named Gu for so many years!

Acknowledge their identity - without being a little more euphemistic?

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Let them divorce first and let Song return to the Song family."

"Jingyou came to your house with another identity. It doesn't matter if he is adopted or is your illegitimate son."

"I can acknowledge his status as the crown prince, and let him inherit your title in the future."

Chu Yanchen knelt there, silent for a moment, kowtowed and said, "Your son disagrees."

The emperor slapped the imperial desk and asked, "You don't agree?"

"Song and Jingyou were framed and deceived by Gu Qingshan. She and her son have never done anything wrong and should not be humiliated like this."

Chu Yanchen said slowly, "I am willing to make the truth public, take them mother and son into Prince Jing's mansion, and let the Gu family receive the punishment they deserve."

The emperor sneered and shook his head.

"Reveal the truth? Reveal that you, the great Prince Jing, were deceived and slept with the newlywed wife of a minister?"

"You are the Prince Jing. Your son has been living abroad for six or seven years, but you knew nothing about it?"

"If you make this public, you will lose all your face! All your past alertness and wisdom will become a joke!"

"The royal family will also be disgraced because of you!"

The emperor was a little angry, his face was dignified and his eyes were heavy.

Chu Yanchen lowered his eyes, but his gaze was firm.

"If Your Majesty feels that I have brought shame upon the royal family... please depose me from my title."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this and looked at him in surprise, "What did you say?"

In order to bring back Song Mingli and his son in a legitimate way, he even gave up his title of king?

"It is true that I was deceived. It is also true that I have felt guilty towards them and their son for the past six or seven years."

"I don't want them and their son to have to compromise for the sake of my own reputation because of my fault."

"I may not be the Prince of Jing, but I must be a responsible man."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this.

He stared blankly at Chu Yanchen who was kneeling upright in the hall.

Yes, this is Lao Si. He has his own set of principles, and once he makes up his mind, even ten cows can't change his mind.

"My father and I both know that if Song Mingli is allowed to divorce and return to the Song family, I will never marry her as my princess again."
