The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1602

Chapter 1602: 772 A Family of Drama Kings (Part 2)_4

The Jinyiwei leader stepped forward, Gu Changqing attempted to resist, but was ruthlessly pinned down by the Jinyiwei leader.

The Crown Prince thought to himself, having been struck by the master’s blade, do you still think you have the strength to resist?

The Jinyiwei leader swiftly tore open Gu Changqing’s collar. However, as he did so, a secret missive fell out.

Gu Changqing hurriedly tried to stomp on it with his foot.

The Jinyiwei leader picked up the missive a step ahead of him!

The Jinyiwei leader opened the missive, took out the blueprints inside, glanced at them, and his face instantly turned colors: "The map of the Crown Prince’s residence, the military defense plans of the Han Family’s camp..."

Well, Long Aotian, you even managed to steal such confidential items from me!

But, you stole them well indeed!

You never expected to be caught on the spot by me, did you!

The Crown Prince just wanted to laugh heartily three times. It was previously difficult to prove the collusion between Long Aotian and Shangguan Yun, but with this ironclad evidence, there was no need for him to say more. The Emperor would not believe Shangguan Yun was innocent now, would he?

After all, apart from Shangguan Yun, who else would go to such lengths to target the Crown Prince’s residence?

"Father!" The Crown Prince looked at the Emperor with emotional agitation.

The Emperor’s gaze fell on Shangguan Yun’s lowered brows: "What else do you have to say?"

Shangguan Yun said calmly: "I have nothing to say. Anyway, you never believe me."

The Emperor, filled with anger and shame, demanded: "Was it you or not, answer me in one word!"

Gu Changqing hurriedly said: "No! It’s not the Princess! It’s my own idea! All of this has nothing to do with the Princess! Your Majesty, if you want to punish someone, punish me alone! I am willing to bear all the blame!"

The Emperor ignored Gu Changqing and instead gazed sternly at Shangguan Yun: "So it was indeed you?"

Shangguan Yun turned her face away.

The Emperor’s chest filled with rage: "Shangguan Yun, you’ve truly disappointed me!"

Gu Changqing anxiously said: "Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with the Princess, it’s all my own doing! The Princess is unaware!"

The Crown Prince chuckled: "Even at death’s door, you’re still trying to exonerate her. You’re truly loyal to my third sister."

The Emperor did not want to see this spy any longer: "Take him away! Execute him by death by a thousand cuts!"

"Wait!" Xiao Hen spoke.

The Emperor glared at Xiao Hen in anger: "This matter doesn’t concern you, don’t interfere!"

Xiao Hen’s tone was calm: "Grandfather Emperor, I just have a doubt. Didn’t the Crown Prince insist on verifying the wound just now? Why didn’t he continue after finding this secret missive?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Oh, it seemed they had forgotten to verify the wound.

The main reason was the overwhelming evidence, plus Gu Changqing had indirectly admitted to it, so it didn’t matter whether they verified it or not.

Xiao Hen walked step by step towards Gu Changqing, who backed away in avoidance.

Xiao Hen extended his hand, and Gu Changqing suddenly broke free from the two Jinyiwei, striking at Xiao Hen with a palm!

Gu Jiao pulled Xiao Hen aside with one hand, and with the other hand, she grabbed Gu Changqing’s collar, pulling it down to the bottom with a swish.

Gu Changqing’s chest, wrapped in bandages, was exposed. Gu Jiao showed no mercy and tore off the blood-stained bandages as well.

But, there were no wounds on his skin.

The blood on the bandages was fake.

The Crown Prince was shocked to the core, wait, how could this be? Where were his wounds?

Xiao Hen looked enlightened, directing his gaze towards the Crown Prince with a look of painful realization: "Uncle Crown Prince, your act is truly well-performed. If I hadn’t noticed something off in time, you might have really gotten away with it. You went to great lengths to frame my mother!"

"I didn’t!" The Crown Prince was utterly confused, unable to comprehend what had happened. Where did Long Aotian’s wounds go?

It couldn’t be that he had switched someone else in.

Even the usually calm Emperor began to panic: "Yunyun... Yunyun..."

He hadn’t called this name in over ten years.

Shangguan Yun looked at him feebly, tears welling up in her eyes: "I... didn’t want to... block the sword for you... I still... still haven’t... forgiven you... but... you are... my father... I’ve already... lost my mother... I can’t... lose my father too..."

The Emperor’s heart suddenly clenched, an intense pain gripping him: "Yunyun..."

Shangguan Yun’s body was rapidly growing cold, her tears mixed with her blood: "I hate you... hate that you never believe me... I waited for you in the Imperial Mausoleum... all those years... you never... came to see me... I hate you... hate you..."

She began to cry sorrowfully in the pool of blood.

In this world, most things are only cherished once they are lost, and the Emperor was no exception.

The Emperor had never felt so clearly the impending loss of Shangguan Yun as he did at this moment. He suddenly realized he was losing her, losing the only child he had with Xuanyuan Hanyang.

Holding his daughter, the pain in his throat surged: "I thought you hated me... didn’t want to see me..."

Thus, as the father and daughter faced their parting, on the other side, Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing were locked in a fierce battle.

The Crown Prince, on the other hand, was completely stunned.

The series of events left him dizzy.

His rational mind told him it was all fake.

Yet everything felt too real.

Gu Jiao gave Gu Changqing another fierce kick, sending him crashing into the wall. He stuck to the wall for a full three seconds before sliding down with a thud!

Gu Changqing... more precisely, Gu Chengfeng clutched his chest, crazily cursing inside.

Seriously, brat, it’s just a play, do you have to be so realistic?

Gu Jiao: Hmph, I’m just very dedicated!
