Chapter 512

Lord Chengen thought about it over several days, causing him not to sleep well for several nights and keeping his eyes open until dawn.

He had to admit that Gu Jing’s words were not unreasonable, once the emperor appointed Gu Zhen as the crown prince, Gu Jing would completely miss the throne.

It was precisely because of this that Lord Chengen made up his mind to impeach Empress Wei even though he did not have much confidence in his heart.

While he was lost in his thoughts, the carriage he was riding in stopped, and the coachman’s respectful voice came from outside. “Lord, we’re here.”

Lord Chengen came to his senses, pushed the door open, and got off the carriage. He entered the restaurant on a familiar route and arrived in a private dining room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

Gu Jing was already waiting in the elegant seat, with a scorching gaze as he looked at Lord Chengen.

“Grandfather, sit down and let’s talk.” Gu Jing personally stood up and welcomed Lord Chengen in, leaving an attendant dressed as a servant to guard the door outside the private room.

Lord Chengen sat down with a solemn expression on his face.

Gu Jing personally poured wine for Lord Chengen and eagerly asked after him, “Grandfather, how was the morning court today?”

Lord Chengen was not in the mood to drink, so he roughly described the situation of the early court and finally said, “The emperor still ignored…”

Caressing the white porcelain wine glass with his fingers, Lord Chengen hesitantly said. “Second Prince, I don’t know if Wang Yu can be trusted.”

Lord Chengen has always been a little uncertain about his cooperation with Wang Yu. The latter had evil intentions, and to put it bluntly, he was a rebellious minister and a traitor, so was Wang Yu reliable? If Gu Jing chose to cooperate with Wang Yu, it would not be scheming with a tiger.

Gu Jing, on the other hand, did not have as many entanglements as Lord Chengen. Since he decided to marry Tang Fengchun as his consort, he had decided to cooperate with Wang Yu.

As the saying goes, wealth and prosperity were sought through insurance.

His father was partial. If follows the trend like the three younger brothers, he would only be able to live a mediocre life and refuse to accept this. He was better than his sixth brother; therefore, he wanted to fight for this, and if he won, he would have the world.

This plan was set by them before Gu Xi left; only Lord Chengen had been hesitant until a few days ago, when the emperor decided to establish the Crown Prince, and only then did he give Lord Chengen a push.

As they had originally planned, everything went smoothly. There was only one step…one more step left to drag Empress Wei from the throne.

“Grandfather, I don’t want to wait any longer.” Gu Jing looked at Lord Chengen, who was sitting across from him and said with a straight face.

Originally, he thought that as long as he worked hard, his father would see him, but his father would always turn a blind eye on him, even if he made great contributions in Jinzhou.

Originally, he thought at least he still had Qin Xin, but he realized that he knew people but did know their hearts. Qin Xin was not who he thought she was, this woman was despicable and greedy for power, the person she adored was never him, but the identity of the second prince;

Originally, he thought he still had time to prove himself to his father, to the courtiers…

However, his father refused to give him an opportunity!

If that were the case, then he would just go all out.
