Gu Yunrong’s expression changed slightly. She moved towards the exit with a pale face and heard the sound clearly echoing in her ears.

The whip struck the box stool beside her, bringing with it a strong wind that sc.r.a.ped the back of her delicate hand and stung her skin.

Gu Yunrong’s fingers shrank reflexively.

Gu Yanfei smiled at Gu Yunrong, her eyes filled with a sly smile.

She didn’t intend to really hit Gu Yunrong. After all, Gu Yunrong was the daughter of the heavens. If she really injured Gu Yunrong, she would definitely be unlucky for a few days.

She didn’t want to hurt herself by killing a thousand enemies.

Gu Yanfei held the handle of the whip and flicked her wrist. The whip crackled crisply.

The whip was so agile that it seemed to be a part of her body. The end of the whip actually curled up the teapot on the small table...

What nonsense! Gu Yunrong’s eyes widened slightly. She bowed, pushed open the door of the carriage, and jumped out.

Gu Yanfei was the only one left in the carriage.

Finally, it was quiet. Gu Yanfei casually rolled up the whip and placed it on the table. She smiled and knocked on the wall of the carriage again, then instructed the coachman, “Let’s go.”

She didn’t care how Gu Yunrong was going to return to the residence at all.

The coachman outside responded and cracked his whip again.

The carriage began to move again. This time, it returned to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion without stopping.

The two carriages stopped near the inner door.

After Gu Yanfei alighted, she saw Madam w.a.n.g and Gu Yunrong alighting from the carriage in front of her.

As Gu Yunrong held the maidservant’s hand and stood still, she inadvertently looked at Gu Yanfei and looked away.

Madam w.a.n.g didn’t notice and instructed the two girls absent-mindedly, ‘The two of you, go back to your courtyard. Don’t talk nonsense.”

There was a hint of warning in the last sentence.

Madam w.a.n.g didn’t care about Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunrong’s reactions and hurriedly returned to the main courtyard. She even asked the servants to call the Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Jian. The couple closed the door and talked for a long time.

After an incense stick of time, the Marquis Mansion closed its doors and refused guests.

Not only the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but there were also many families in the capital who closed their doors tightly, looking like they were on tenterhooks.

Although most families weren’t like the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, they had also stopped hosting banquets. In the last two days of the new year, the festive atmosphere had weakened a lot. Even the weather had been overcast for two days with continuous dark clouds.

It wasn’t until the 10th day of the first month that the Emperor started writing.

The first morning court session of the new year was quite lively.

As soon as the morning a.s.sembly began, a square-faced censor with a goatee jumped out with a book.

‘Your Majesty, I have a memorial.’

His words attracted the attention of the ministers.

‘The Eldest Prince is arbitrary, disobedient, and unfilial. He dares to put the Empress Dowager under house arrest. Does he think that as a prince, he can cover the sky with one hand?!” The censor impeached the Eldest Prince, Chu Yi, impeachingly.

‘Your Majesty, this wind must not last. Please punish the Eldest Prince severely. You must not let the world think that the Emperor has raised a disobedient son!”

‘Your Majesty, being too indulgent on your son is equivalent to killing him!”

As he spoke, the censor lifted his robe and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed heavily to the Emperor on the throne.

However, before his memorial could be presented, the British Crown Prince, Fang Huairui, immediately stood up from the line of generals and scolded the censor indignantly, “Nothing good comes out of a dog’s mouth!”

‘IAS a censor, instead of catching those corrupt officials, you’ve learned to hear rumors like those shrews in the market!”

“Hmph, you jumped up and down in the throne room without any evidence.

How should you be punished for slandering the Eldest Prince!”

The British Duke actually called him a dog! The censor was so angry that his face turned ashen. He blew his beard and glared, his thin body trembling like a sieve. He said angrily, “I can answer to the sun and moon. My heart is s.h.i.+ning with loyalty... The world can see it!’

The more the monster trainer spoke, the angrier he became. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and smashed his head against the pillar beside

However, Fang Huairui was already on guard against him. He winked at a middle-aged military official beside him.

The middle-aged military official rushed over quickly and blocked the pillar.

The censor slammed his head into the man’s thick, strong chest. The man was as steady as a mountain, but the impact bounced him back. He staggered and fell to the ground, sprawling.

‘Ouch,” he groaned in pain. Even his official hat fell off his head, and he was in a sorry state.

There was dead silence in the throne room.

Most of the courtiers were used to these clear-cut censors. .h.i.tting the pillar for no reason, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Most of the courtiers were watching the development of the situation coldly. The old foxes secretly exchanged glances and thought to themselves, ‘Where did this idiot come from? He’s really courting death and doesn’t even know that he’s become a knife in someone else’s hand!’

‘Sigh, Minister Li, you’re too careless.” The Emperor looked down at the censor and sighed faintly. “Men, send Minister Li back to rest.’

The Emperor casually brushed off Censor Li’s collision with the pillar as if he was a peacemaker. Then, he instructed the eunuch, Zhao Rang, in public, “Zhao Rang, get a few imperial physicians to take a look at Minister Li’s residence. Don’t break it.’

When he said this, the Emperor’s expression and tone were filled with concern and sympathy.

The ministers weren’t surprised either. He had always been a benevolent person, but he was weak and sickly.

‘Sigh—’t The Emperor sighed again.

‘Minister Li is old and is always so sick. I’m really worried.” The Emperor patted the golden lacquer armrest of the dragon throne casually twice. “In this life, health is most important. Why don’t you retire and live a leisurely life?”

‘ Censor Li, who had fallen to the ground, widened his eyes in disbelief, and his goatee trembled.

In the ranks on both sides, several officials exchanged glances, their eyes twitching.

Imperial Censor Li was only in his 30s. How could he be considered old?

Wasn’t the Emperor lying through his teeth?!

‘The Emperor is right!” Fang Huairui clapped his hands and echoed without another word. His voice was like a bell that echoed through the entire throne room.

This sentence spoke in an imposing manner.

Imperial Duke Wei revealed a strange expression as he sized up Fang Huairui. For a moment, he almost suspected that he had been switched.

Strange, when had his little brother become so obsequious?

Fang Huairui could naturally feel the speculative and shocked gazes around him, but he could only pretend not to see them. His heart was as bitter as if he had eaten a yellow lotus. He couldn’t say anything and could only stand in the throne room as if nothing had happened.

Since he had already boarded the Eldest Prince’s pirate s.h.i.+p, he could only walk down without knowing anything.

Fang Huairui cursed Madam Yu in his heart again. Just as he was about to continue, he saw a middle -aged eunuch in front of him walking quickly to Zhao Rang’s side and whispering a few words. Then, Zhao Rang went over and whispered into the Emperor’s ear.

The Eldest Princess is... dying.’

Zhao Rang’s voice was so low that only the Emperor could hear him.

The smile froze on the Emperor’s lips, and his brow furrowed and his face changed drastically..
