Chapter 273 The Crime of Beheading

On Prince Yong's wedding night, he escaped and was captured by mountain bandits. The news that Minister Wen personally rescued him reached the capital very early and naturally reached the ears of the emperor.

"I knew that my brother was still obsessed with Young Master Shen and regretted it right after the marriage." Gu Changli found it quite funny when he heard the news his men had found out.

Li Xue and Gu Changfeng had been at odds for a long time, and he began to stir up trouble again: "But your majesty, Prince Yong is committing the crime of deceiving the emperor by doing this."

"You just can't see your own heart clearly, how can that be considered deceiving the king?" Gu Changli said.

Li Xue said dissatisfiedly: "The people know that Prince Yong is going to pursue Master Shen, and they say that Your Majesty arranged the marriage at random and it was a wrong marriage." Naturally, the people did not dare to say that, after all, it was Prince Yong who asked for it himself.

Gu Changli's smiling expression froze instantly. Li Xue's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. "It was I who spoke too much. I really deserve to be spanked."

Li Xue slapped himself hard, but was stopped by Gu Changli after just one or two slaps.

"It's good that you know it, please leave first."

"Brother, this is indeed inappropriate. Are you anxious to get married because you are old?" Gu Changli drove Li Xue away and sat quietly in the Yangxin Palace for a long time. He suddenly said, "If brother really came to ask for the cancellation of the engagement, that would be a crime punishable by death..."

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously covered his mouth, as if he had developed a lot of unspeakable malice towards his brother since the night of his brother's wedding. They had such a good relationship before, so why did he suddenly change like this? He actually felt that what Li Xue said made sense, and he took the rumors that he was more capable than his master to heart more and more.

It would be better to go to the Buddhist temple to calm down after some time, Gu Changli thought.

Now he only has one brother, Gu Changfeng. After he ascended the throne, he "ruthlessly" dealt with several people. If even Gu Changfeng was "dealt with", his reputation would be really ruined. Moreover, when he ascended the throne, he swore that as long as Gu Changfeng was willing to support him, he would protect him for the time being.

Perhaps it was because they had been apart for too long that he felt more and more lonely. There was no one in the harem with whom he could talk, and the previous dynasty was full of suspicion. Why did he begin to dislike Gu Changfeng?

When rumors were spreading all over the capital, Wen Heng finally came back. He had led troops to rescue people without permission and had made a mistake. The first thing he did when he returned was to apologize to the emperor.

Gu Changli did not punish them because they were newly married, but said calmly: "I allowed you to go on a honeymoon a few days ago, why did you come back alone?"

Wen Heng had long expected the emperor to ask this question. When he heard the rumors about the three of them in the capital, he had already thought of the words, so he answered truthfully: "I had a quarrel with the prince, so I came back first."

Gu Changli narrowed his eyes, "I heard that you didn't go together."

"Yes, Your Majesty is one step ahead of me." Wen Heng said again.

Seeing that the people below were sweating, Gu Changli did not want to embarrass him: "Forget it, go back and rest first. The way King Yong treated you was really too much. When he comes back, I will definitely help you get justice."

When Wen Heng heard this, he said no more, "Yes."

Wen Heng still felt cold all over until he came out of the palace. He remembered what Gu Changfeng said in the bandit's den, that he would explain it clearly to the emperor. He suddenly felt that it might not be a joke. If he really said that to the emperor, wouldn't he be playing with the imperial power? The emperor probably wanted them to live a good life.
