“What if this Son insists on keeping Liu’er?” Gu Heng was aroused in his rebellious heart and said without giving an inch.
Empress Dowager Guo was so angry that she raised her hand.
“Empress Dowager!” Gu Lin Chao stopped her in a deep voice.
Empress Dowager Guo resentfully lowered her hand.
Gu Heng’s pupils shrank and a cold intent flashed under his eyes.
Gu Lin Chao turned his head and looked at him, “Do you really want to keep her?”
“Liu’er has saved my life, I can’t take away her credit for saving me because of her former affairs.” Gu Heng insisted.
When Gu Lin Chao heard his words, he did not say anything else, but his ice cold eyes, looked at Wen Ruyi, warned: “Whether or not you have amnesia, and what you have done before, you know best. Don’t think that the Emperor is easy to deceive, so you can make waves in the palace and live carefree. If this King knows that you have the intention of plotting against the Emperor, the King will definitely split your body with five horses and scatter your bones.”
The hand in Wen Ruyi’s sleeve pinched her palm to suppress her fear.
The person she liked so much was so cold-blooded and cruel to her.
She lowered her eyes, did not respond to anything, but shivered and curled up in front of Gu Heng.
When Gu Heng saw this, a feeling of heartache arose in his heart and he subconsciously tightened his arm.
“Your Majesty, take care of yourself!” Gu Lin Chao dropped these words, then turned and went out.
Empress Dowager Guo glared at Wen Ruyi with anger and hatred, and then looked at Gu Heng with disappointment, before finally flinging her sleeves and chasing after him.
Gu Heng smiled to himself and carried Wen Ruyi into the inner hall, “Call the Imperial Physician!”
After Gu Lin Chao left Jiu Chen Hall again, Empress Dowager Guo caught up behind him.
“Heng Zhi.” (means prince and I’m going to start leaving it like this)
Gu Lin Chao stopped in his tracks, “Is there something wrong with the Empress Dowager?”
The Empress Dowager Guo gave him a complicated look and shook her head, “There is nothing wrong with me, it’s just the attitude of Heng’er. You must not take it to heart, he is still young and does not know anything ……”
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, somewhat unable to continue. Gu Lin Chao is not much older than Gu Heng, but he is so stable, as if when he encountered something, he can always deal with it calmly. Without his support, Daye’s rivers and mountains would have been torn apart, and would today’s prosperity exist? How could she and her son have enjoyed such wealth and glory?
“Empress Dowager does not need to take it to heart, I understand.” Gu Lin Chao said indifferently, with a detached tone.
Empress Dowager Guo was a bit resentful, but she thought of one thing and said, “Now that Heng’er has been charmed by that Liu’er, should we really let it go?”
“The Empress Dowager has just seen that His Majesty is very protective of her. His nature is stubborn. If we force him, I’m afraid it will backfire.” Gu Lin Chao said.
Empress Dowager Guo sighed in her heart, indeed, Heng’er’s nature is better understood by Heng Zhi.
If it was him ……
This idea flashed into her mind, and she froze before hurriedly interrupting that thought.
“Then, according to Heng Zhi, what should be done?” She asked with a solemn look.
“Let’s wait and see what happens. If Wen Ruyi is not detrimental to the Emperor, then let’s leave her. If she is ……” Gu Lin Chao paused, “Regarding the harem, it is not very convenient for this King to get involved in this matter.
Empress Dowager Guo immediately said: “This is natural. You can rest assured that I will watch over her. If she dares to do any harm to the Emperor, I will immediately deal with her.”
“Mm.” Gu Lin Chao did not say anything else, turned around and left.
Looking at his distant back, Empress Dowager Guo squeezed the handkerchief in her hand.
If only she could be a few years younger ……
