Chapter 241 Conspiracy
Gu Jin was shocked when he heard this.
"The palace is not a good place to go. Those people are determined to kill you. If you go back like this, wouldn't it be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
No, I don’t agree!”
Before she died, Aunt Zhao asked her to take good care of Huo Sichen, and she couldn't let him take risks.
Huo Sichen's tone was calm, not like he was acting on impulse.
"I know they all want to get rid of me. My mother died because of this." Huo Sichen's eyes were red, as if they were clotted with blood.
"They killed my mother, I will kill them to avenge my mother!"
Even though he knew the dangers of the palace, he would not back down.
Since they were afraid that he would go back, he would go back anyway!
"Sister, the hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable. If it were you, you would definitely make the same choice as me, right?"
Gu Jin stared at Huo Sichen in a daze, only then did he realize that his face had long lost its childish roundness and had become that of a determined teenager.
Gu Jin really wanted to say "no", but in the end he just silently put his hand on Huo Sichen's shoulder.
"Just do whatever you want to do. I will always support you."
Huo Sichen placed his hand on the back of Gu Jin's hand and said solemnly, "Sister, I will definitely become stronger. I want to be strong enough to protect all of you!"
Emperor Hui'an went against the majority's opinion and brought Huo Sichen into the palace, naming him Prince of Chen.
The head of the royal family and Princess Anguo both acknowledged Huo Sichen's identity, and only some imperial censors wrote letters to strongly advise him.
But after Emperor Hui'an cut his wrist and dripped blood with Huo Sichen to recognize his relationship with him, the matter had to be put to rest.
Emperor Hui'an was no longer as lenient as before. He swept his cold eyes over everyone, and every word he said revealed murderous intent, "Mu Chen is my own son, and his bloodline cannot be questioned.
Anyone who dares to discuss this matter again in the future will be considered disrespectful to the royal family and will be put to death!"
The ministers were terrified. Emperor Hui'an had always been magnanimous and even when his ministers contradicted him, he would only scold them and fine them some of their salary. This was the first time such a thing had happened.
This is enough to show the emperor's love for the prince.
To have the emperor's favor is equivalent to having everything, even that position...
The one with the ugliest expression at the end of the morning court session was none other than Prince Yu. He had never imagined that his father had such a big illegitimate child outside!
He, who had been fearless at first, suddenly became a little panicked because he saw a unique preference in his father.
He hurried to see Concubine Jiang, who was in the Cining Palace at that time.
"Aunt, this Mu Chen must not be allowed to stay! His Majesty showed such kindness to him right after he returned to the palace. When he deceived His Majesty with his eloquence, the position of crown prince..."
"No, no! How can the throne be given to a bastard? Aunt, make up your mind!"
There was a "pop" sound.
When Prince Yu arrived, he saw broken porcelain all over the floor.
Concubine Jiang turned pale, stood up hurriedly, and said timidly: "Aunt..."
Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes were cold and her sharp gaze was frightening.
"When something happens, you only know how to quarrel in my ears. What use do I have for you?"
How could Empress Dowager Jiang not be upset? The assassin she sent out only killed a woman, while the most important person was safe and sound.
Unexpectedly, the woman surnamed Zhao was so strong. Instead of panicking when encountering the bad guys, she locked Mu Chen into the house.
With such courage, it is hard to believe that she is just an ordinary village woman.
"You have been with the emperor for so many years but you are not even as good as a country girl! Didn't you follow the emperor when he went to the south of the Yangtze River?
You didn't even know your man was seduced away right under your nose, and you still have the nerve to come here and yell at me!"
Concubine Jiang was scolded so much that her face turned red and she was so ashamed and angry that she didn't dare to look up.
She was extremely beautiful, but His Majesty chose to favor a lowly commoner woman. She felt that her face was being trampled upon.
"Grandmother, what should we do now?" Prince Yu didn't have time to care about the jealousy among women. He only cared about Mu Chen who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at him calmly and said expressionlessly, "Now that he has just returned to the palace, your majesty wants to see you two brothers being friendly and respectful to each other.
If something happens to him at this time, who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"Then we can only indulge him?" Prince Yu was a little anxious.
Queen Mother Jiang lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Your Majesty has not gone out hunting for a long time, and I am bored staying in the palace."
Prince Yu's eyes lit up.
He couldn't kill Mu Chen in the palace, but swords were silent in the hunting grounds. If an arrow missed the target...
"Sun Chen understands. Sun Chen takes his leave!"
Watching the backs of Concubine Jiang and her son leaving, Empress Dowager Jiang lowered her gloomy eyes and called Nanny Song to say, "I haven't seen Wanyue for a long time. Go and send her a note."
