The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
chapter-516

Chapter 516

The path of seizing the throne was naturally full of blood, and since the Wei family wanted to be granted the title of marquis based on the fact that they were the sixth prince’s maternal family, this was also a risk that they had to bear.

Looking at the account book while drinking wine, Lord Chengen said casually. “Second Prince, you still have to be more careful with Empress Dowager’s side.”

“The empress dowager likes children, this is your biggest help, when the emperor abolished the empress if you want to succeed, you still have to rely on the empress dowager to speak favorably of you in front of the emperor.”

According to Lord Chengen, Qin Xin’s status was a little inferior after all, but now she was the only one pregnant with the emperor’s grandson while Tang Fengchun had connections with Wang Yu, and it was not appropriate to get too close with her.

“The word ‘child’ pierced Gu Jing’s heart like a knife. The expression on his face did not look good, and his eyes were even more sinister, like a yak from hell. However, he eventually agreed to do so. “Grandfather, I understand.”

“And Tang Fengchun…” Lord Chengen wanted to remind Gu Jing, but Gu Jing did not want to listen.

“Grandfather can rest assured that I have a sense of propriety in Tang Fengchun’s affairs. However, grandmother has had a bad temper recently, and even mother has been angered.” Speaking of Noble Consort Liu’s kneeling punishment a few days ago, Gu Jing also felt sorry for her, after which he asked Tang Fengchun to visit Noble Consort Liu several times in the palace and bring nourishing medicine.

Lord Chengen let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice, “It’s only natural for Empress Dowager to have a bad temper lately. Don’t even think about it, after all, Empress Dowager Fang has fled back to Yuzhou, and now that she is far away…”

Hold on!

Lord Chengen’s eyes suddenly widened; at this moment, he suddenly realized what he had been neglecting.

Something was wrong, it was Empress Dowager Liu’s reaction that was not quite right.

The person that Empress Dowager Liu hated the most was the Imperial Consort Fang. If Imperial Consort Fang escaped and went to Yuzhou, with Empress Dowager Liu’s hatred for Imperial Consort Fang, how could she let Imperial Consort Fang go to Yu Zhou to enjoy her happiness without feeling any grudge? She should be furious and even extremely angry and sick.

But——

During the months from the Tai’an Palace fire to the Chinese New Year, rumors about Empress Dowager Fang circulated in the capital. However, Empress Dowager Liu’s mood did not seem to have been greatly affected. Not only did she not seek medical attention due to illness, but she also enthusiastically invited the troupe of the Bell and Drum Masters to perform, which was unusual.

The more Lord Chengen thought about it, the more he felt it was wrong, and asked with a serious expression, “Second Prince, when you and your mother consort went to see the Empress Dowager at Shouning Palace, what did you think of the Empress Dowager’s mood?”

Although Gu Jing did not know why Lord Chengen suddenly asked this question, he still answered truthfully, “I saw that Imperial Grandmother was in a good mood at first, but then, for some reason, she suddenly took offense to Mother Consort and chastised her and punished her by kneeling outside the temple for an hour.”

Lord Chengen: “……”
