After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 161 Return to Peace
Xie Chen took out the breakfast that Gu Hengyu bought and put it in the middle of the plate. When his throat felt uncomfortable, he used his eyes to signal Gu Hengyu to eat with him.

Thinking of what happened in the morning, on the way Gu Hengyu came, he heard Yun He say that Xie Chen sent someone to find Gao Kun, afraid that she would still be worried about it, so he said, "Gao Kun has already been found."

Hearing this, Xie Chen looked up at Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu understood the meaning of Xie Chen at a glance, and then said: "I'll have someone bring him into the palace to be dealt with by the emperor."

Xie Chen thought about it and nodded.

No matter whose hands Gao Kun falls into, he has the status of a prince after all, and in the end life or death must be decided by the emperor.

What's more, Xie Chen didn't think about it in the first place.

She knew that Gao Kun told the story of her mother, Princess Yuning, and a large part of the reason was to drive a wedge between her and the emperor.

When hearing about the previous generation yesterday, Xie Chen did not deny that she hated her uncle for a moment.

If it weren't for the emperor's persecution, her mother would not have married someone she didn't love, and ended up like this after being tricked by a woman in the backyard.

But after one night, Xie Chen can also understand his uncle's difficulties. He is not only a brother, but also the king of a country.

He can only make the best choice for the entire royal family.

What's more, at that time, the life and death of the person my mother loved was uncertain, and everything was held in the palm of others, and he was unwilling to let my mother go to Xiliang to take risks.

She couldn't blindfolded and blamed her uncle who loved her since she was a child. She could only blame her bad luck.

Uncle has lived with guilt for most of his life, that's enough, Xie Chen can't hate him anymore.

If the mother was alive, she would not let her do this.

"Let's... go..." Xie Chen wanted to go to the emperor's side to have a look, but he was still stunned when he heard his own voice, and was interrupted by Gu Hengyu when he wanted to continue.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Gu Hengyu understood what Xie Chen meant, and didn't want Xie Chen to speak in pain, so he spoke for her.

Thank you for nodding.

After the two had finished their breakfast in Shifang Hall, they walked towards the Imperial Study Room.

When he arrived, Gao Kun was already in the imperial study.

The emperor obviously didn't expect Xie Chen to be willing to come to see him, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Hengyu didn't give Xie Chen a chance to speak, and said for her: "Chen'er had a bad throat yesterday and couldn't speak."

"She asked me to tell the emperor that she doesn't blame the emperor."

Even though she didn't say thank you, her actions have already told Gu Hengyu what she thinks.

Xie Chen nodded and looked at the emperor.

In the moist eyes of the emperor, Xie Chen spoke slowly, and called out in a hoarse voice: "Uncle."

The emperor came down from the high place and came in front of Xie Chen. He didn't know how to react for a while, he just stretched out his hand to touch Xie Chen's head, and kept saying: "Good boy, good boy..."

After both of them let go of their worries, Gu Hengyu took Xie Chen aside and sat down.

Gao Kun recalled the thankful reaction just now in his eyes, feeling disdain for her tolerance in his heart.

"Thank you, now it's time for me to call you cousin, you are tolerant, even killing your mother and enemy can be forgiven."

Gao Kun is used to killing people and punishing his heart. In one sentence, he attributed Princess Yuning's death to the emperor.

The emperor's face that had returned to nature suddenly changed after hearing these words.

But Xie Chen remained calm as always, watching Gao Kun without speaking.

If her voice was fine, she might still say a few words to go back to Gao Kun, but now she has no strength at all.

Let him say what he says.

The emperor glanced at Xie Chen, and found that she was not affected by Gao Kun's words, and the stone in his heart dropped.

Looking at Gao Kun dressed up like an eunuch, and his voice was no different from that of the eunuchs beside him, both sharp and feminine, I didn't know how I felt.

Gao Kun's identity has been confirmed by the relevant people back then, and it is undoubtedly his child.

And what Gao Kun experienced after being sent out of the palace, he also knew about the same.

The death of Gao Kun's adoptive parents should be related to him, and in recent years, Gao Kun colluded with the Southern Chu royal family in an attempt to destroy Yan Zhao...
Coupled with what he did to Xie Chen and others, the emperor, the father who only knew his identity, was terrified.

All these incidents are enough to sentence Gao Kun to death.

But he is his own son after all...
"Gao Kun...do you have anything else you want to tell me?" The emperor looked at Gao Kun and asked.

There was no imaginary anger and grief in the tone, but more of a kind of helplessness.

Fate tricks people, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Back then, the maid who climbed onto the dragon bed in an attempt to reach the sky in one step made a wrong step, which ruined his son's life.

It even affected the fate of Yan Zhao as a whole...

Gao Kun looked at his father who hated and was unfamiliar, with a sneer across his face: "Want to say? The slave is just a eunuch, how can he have the opportunity to talk to the emperor."

These words pierced the emperor's heart bit by bit like knives.

"I also want to protect you, but you have to know, these things you have done..."

"Stop being hypocritical, I'm a person of dirty royal blood, you better send me to die, Your Majesty." Hearing what the Emperor said, Gao Kun's expression became ferocious.

He didn't believe it, the emperor wanted to protect him.

Even though he heard Gao Kun guessing himself like this, the emperor still wanted him to survive: "The capital crime can be avoided, and the life crime cannot be escaped. I will find a reason for you..."

"Your Majesty." Gu Hengyu stood up, walked to the middle and saluted the Emperor.

The emperor stopped what he was saying, and looked at Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu glanced at Gao Kun who was on the ground, then raised his head and said to the emperor: "The emperor's benevolent and loving son understands, but Gao Kun cannot escape death penalty for everything he has done."

"Not to mention that he disrupted the order with cholera, but just saying that he spread rumors about the royal family and put everyone in danger is unavoidable."

Hearing Gu Hengyu's words, the emperor looked at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen raised his eyes to look at the emperor, without too much expression on his face, as if he believed that he would make the most fair judgment.

The emperor understands that the biggest victim of this incident is Xie Chen, and she is also the most innocent.

The emperor closed his eyes, as if he had lost all strength: "You can do whatever you say."

"According to Yan Zhao's law, all people should do things that endanger the country..." Speaking of this, Gu Hengyu deliberately paused.

"However, considering the special situation, I suggested that Gao Kun be beheaded in public three days later, to show the emperor's selflessness and the meaning of the royal family's crimes against the common people, and to reshape the image of the royal family."

Gu Hengyu's words seemed to be for the sake of the royal family and the common people, but every word pushed the emperor to a desperate situation.

There is no other way, the emperor nodded, and said to the people below: "Just do what Gu Xiaohou wants."

After finishing speaking, watching the moment Gao Kun was sent out, he sat down on the dragon chair feeling weak all over.

After all, he is the emperor and the king of a country first, and then he can be other identities.
