The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Chapter 172 You Are Not Worthy of Being an Opponent

The first news was that the emperor suddenly fell ill and specifically asked Gu Beihuai to take care of him.

The second news...

Qingmei blushed a little and seemed embarrassed to speak.

Shen Qingyan was puzzled. "What's wrong? Just tell me."

Qingmei's voice became even lower.

"I heard from people outside that the prince was cuddling with a man and seemed to have a homosexual tendency..."

"Pfft~"

Shen Qingyan spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Are you sure you heard correctly?"

Qingmei nodded vigorously, "I am sure I heard it correctly. Many people saw it. I heard that it has been reported to the palace."

As the saying goes, good news does not travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. In addition, the person who saw Gu Beihuai coming down with Shufeng happened to be an imperial merchant. After he told the people in the palace, the news spread quickly.

Afraid that Shen Qingyan would think too much, Qingmei quickly added: "I think there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. How could the prince be that kind of person?"

Shen Qingyan had lived two lives, so she naturally knew that Gu Beihuai would not have a preference for men, but why was he hugging and cuddling with a man? Who was that man?

Thinking of the time when he dressed as a woman, Shen Qingyan's thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Qingmei, go out and find out who the man hugging the prince is."

"Yes."

Little did people know that although the news had reached the palace, no one paid much attention to it except the queen.

The emperor suddenly fell ill, causing panic in the entire palace.

The imperial physicians knelt all over the outer hall of the Palace of Mental Cultivation, and the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and several capable imperial physicians stood guard beside the bed of Emperor Gu Tianyan.

Gu Tianyan suddenly suffered a brain disease. Although he was out of danger, he was still in a coma. He finally woke up once, and the only thing he said was to ask Gu Beihuai to take care of him.

After Gu Beihuai arrived, the imperial doctors automatically made way for him to come to Gu Tianyan.

"Father, I am late."

A magical scene happened. After hearing his voice, Gu Tianyan miraculously opened his eyes.

But those eyes were a little cloudy and wary.

Because of Gu Beihuai's figure, the people behind him could not see Gu Tianyan's eyes.

"Ho..."

Gu Tianyan let out a hoarse wheezing sound from his throat like a wild beast, but he couldn't utter a word.

Gu Beihuai looked worried, "Father."

He immediately summoned the imperial physician.

The imperial physician wanted to take Gu Tianyan's pulse, but Gu Tianyan used all his strength to shake the physician off, indicating that he wanted to talk to Gu Beihuai alone.

There was no choice but for everyone to retreat.

Gu Chenan, who had been ignored the whole time, lowered his eyes and followed the crowd out, the gloom in his eyes almost unstoppable.

Normally, the emperor loves him the most, but why does he let Gu Beihuai take care of him at this time?

Moreover, Gu Tianyan's illness is very severe. To put it bluntly, he may not have much time left. However, he has never appointed a crown prince. Could it be that he wants to pass the throne to Gu Beihuai before he dies?

A sense of crisis surged in his heart, and Gu Chenan thought over and over again, and finally came up with a plan in mind.

Now his power in the palace is intertwined and he has many ministers supporting him. If he can make good use of it, even if Gu Tianyan does not clearly indicate to whom he will pass the throne, he can still ascend to the throne smoothly.

Thinking of this, Gu Chenan immediately gave a few instructions to his personal attendant.

The servant's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to say anything, and quickly did as he was told.

There was no palace servant in the huge inner hall, only Gu Beihuai and Gu Tianyan.

Gu Tianyan gasped for breath, and finally caught his breath. Then he stared at Gu Beihuai and spoke slowly and with difficulty.

"Kill, kill me... Now is the best time..."

Gu Beihuai looked at the dead fish-like person in front of him, his eyes full of indifference, but his words were full of doubt and confusion.

"Father, what are you talking about? Your illness can be cured now. You must not have any thoughts of committing suicide."

Gu Tianyan paused, but still spoke persistently.

"I know... you are not Bei Huai..."

Gu Beihuai still looked normal, with a slight frown.

"Father, I am Bei Huai."

"Cough cough..." Gu Tianyan suddenly coughed, and his turbid eyes opened wider, as if he wanted to see through Gu Beihuai.

"no no……"

"I am your son." Gu Beihuai's voice suddenly turned cold, leaving no room for doubt. "Father, are you confused because of illness? If I am not Beihuai, then who else could I be?"

Gu Tianyan also wanted to know.

Ever since that year, when the Queen fell out of favor, Gu Beihuai fell seriously ill, and nearly died in the fire, things have become a little different.

Later, he fell ill frequently. Gu Tianyan was busy with affairs, and he did not like the queen's unreasonable behavior, so he did not pay much attention to him. He heard that there was a master with superb martial arts and the ability to communicate with gods in Yumen Mountain, so he sent him to Yumen Mountain.

Who would have thought that after coming back, Gu Beihuai's temperament became even colder and more indifferent.

It was not until later that Gu Beihuai inadvertently mentioned a person, which made him vaguely realize that something was wrong.

That man was the ruler of the destroyed Zhaoxing Kingdom.

He began to doubt Gu Beihuai's identity, but because he had no evidence, he could only remain vigilant.

As time went by, Gu Tianyan became more suspicious and began to suspect that Gu Beihuai was not his biological son.

But he knew very little about his son, and many details could not be verified.

What he said just now was both doubt and temptation.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gu Tianyan started coughing again, and seemed really confused, and then he fainted.

The only trace of worry on Gu Beihuai's face disappeared completely.

As Gu Tianyan said, now is indeed a good time to kill him, but it is not the best time.

Couldn't he see that Gu Tianyan was pretending to faint to test him?

Gu Beihuai slowly stood up, turned around and walked out, and the imperial physician came.

The person who came in was Dr. Zhou, an experienced doctor in his sixties. When he passed by Gu Beihuai, he looked obviously nervous.

Little did he know that behind him, Gu Chenan was even more nervous.

It will be soon. Gu Beihuai will soon no longer be eligible to compete with him for the throne.

"Stop." Gu Beihuai suddenly spoke, causing Doctor Zhou's already trembling body to stiffen instantly, and he almost fell.

"What orders does His Royal Highness Prince Huai have?"

Gu Beihuai looked down at his hunched body and said calmly, "Imperial Physician Zhou is old and may not be in good health. He may have neglected my father's condition. It would be better to let Envoy Su and Imperial Physician Qi come."

Doctor Zhou was not angry, but relieved.

"Yes."

After Gu Beihuai gave his instructions, he glanced at Gu Chenan seemingly unintentionally.

Gu Chenan clenched his fists. He regarded this look as a provocation and was filled with anger.

Gu Beihuai walked straight in front of him without dodging or avoiding, and said in a cold voice that only the two of them could hear: "Put away your little thoughts. If I want to fight, you are not worthy of being my opponent."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Chenan's pupils suddenly dilated and his anger became even greater.

"Gu Beihuai, you..."
