Chapter 109: Why was Prince 4 also chosen by Li Beichen?
The queen was really in a dilemma, especially because it was happening in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, and it involved concubines and princes in the harem. If this royal scandal was revealed in front of so many people, how would the royal family maintain its reputation?
The queen naturally wanted to see her opponent fall. The less woman who opposed her, the less trouble she would have.
But if he was dealt with in front of so many people, wouldn't that be like rubbing the emperor's face on the ground? This... should I go or not?
The entire hall was silent except for the palace maid's crying and shouting. Everyone was looking at the emperor and empress, with surprise and amusement in their eyes.
Although what the palace maid said was not complete, the few words she revealed were enough for everyone to imagine a complete story.
Gu Lanzhi looked at the emperor and empress, then at Li Beichen who looked calm, and finally looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Gu Lanzhi has been struggling in the apocalypse for so many years, and he sees too clearly the selfishness, greed, and ugliness of human nature.
When the end of the world just began, everyone would help others as long as they could ensure their own survival. But as food became less and less, not to mention helping others, even their own families would fight over a bite of food.
Gu Lanzhi has seen too many cases of couples fighting and parents and children killing each other.
Of course, there are people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their children, but unfortunately, they are a minority. Most people do this just to survive.
Therefore, Gu Lanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Beichen using the concubines in the harem to achieve his own goals.
If Gu Lanzhi had not experienced the end of the world, he might have felt that Li Beichen would do anything to achieve his goals and would have had some opinions about Li Beichen.
But now Gu Lanzhi lacks that compassion.
Moreover, Gu Lanzhi knew clearly that this lady must have done something very bad, which was why she was punished by Li Beichen.
Gu Lanzhi didn't spend much time with Li Beichen, but he was sure of this and believed that Li Beichen must have his reasons for doing this.
As for the exact reason, we would have to wait until we visited her "boudoir" again at night to find out.
"What is the imperial sister-in-law still hesitating about? Didn't the maid say that if the imperial sister-in-law doesn't go and take a look, her queen's innocence will be gone.
The Queen's sister-in-law is sitting there motionless, is she trying to delay time? Is she just trying to see that lady lose her innocence?"
Li Beichen put the queen on the spot with just a few words, neither hurried nor slow.
Did she not move because she wanted to see her opponent lose his innocence? Did she not know what the emperor meant?
But since the Ninth Prince had said so, the Queen had no choice but to move. She could only sigh softly, stand up from her seat, and bow to the Emperor to apologize.
"Your Majesty, I will go and take a look."
The emperor kept looking at Li Beichen dangerously, and even when he was answering the queen's words, his eyes did not move away from Li Beichen's face at all.
"I will go with the Queen."
The emperor and the empress walked out of the hall together. When passing by Li Beichen's desk, the emperor paused slightly. In fact, he was concerned that there were too many people in the hall, so he couldn't say much to Li Beichen and could only leave in a hurry with his people.
People all love to watch excitement, especially this kind of excitement with color.
Who doesn't want to see what's going on? So everyone followed the emperor and empress out of the hall.
How could a gossip lover like Gu Lanzhi miss this good opportunity? He must be the first to rush to the front line to eat the gossip.
Not long after leaving the hall, the suggestive voice was heard.
Just by listening to the sound, one could imagine how fierce the battle in the room was, but Gu Lanzhi was staring at the door of the room in confusion.
Gu Lanzhi's hearing has greatly improved now, so he could tell that there were more than just two people in the room!
What a big melon! Gu Lanzhi's eyes lit up even more! What a surprising scene it would be when the door opened!
But when Gu Lanzhi looked at the emperor, he only felt that the emperor's head became even greener.
There was no change on the emperor's face when he heard that voice, because he knew that since Li Beichen had already taken action, he would not start well but would finish badly, and he would definitely make things real.
What the emperor is thinking about now is not his cuckold or his face, but how to save his eldest son.
It’s not that the emperor likes his eldest son so much, but that he is still useful to him!
The eldest prince is the emperor's purse! The emperor's treasury is almost always filled with this eldest son.
Almost every month, the eldest son would give the emperor money and good things. The emperor really didn't want anything to happen to this purse!
Even though the emperor already owned the world, the national treasury belonged to the entire Dongshun Kingdom, and only the private treasury belonged to him.
If he has no money in his purse, who will give him money in the future?
But... this was something that happened to his concubine, and the emperor really had no idea how to excuse his eldest son.
From beginning to end, the emperor never thought about who the woman who was defiled by the eldest prince was, nor did he think about why the woman was used as a "sacrifice" by Li Beichen.
Because in the eyes of the emperor, no matter who that woman was, she was already dead.
A person who is doomed to die is naturally not worthy of the emperor's even a glance.
When he was about to reach the door of the house, the emperor finally came up with a solution that might work.
He thought of letting his own men in first, and then quickly closing the door after they entered, using his own men to replace the eldest prince and hide him first, and letting his own men take the eldest prince's place and protect the eldest prince.
But just as he was about to whisper a few words to his men, the palace maid who was running to report the news took a step ahead of the emperor and rushed towards the door regardless of anything.
Everyone just heard a "bang" and the door was pushed open by the palace maid.
This room was not where the master lived, but was a place for ministers and their families to change clothes not far from the main hall. So there were no inner or outer rooms, just a square room.
Once the door was pushed open, everything in the room was visible.
When the emperor saw everything in the room, he almost fainted.
Before he could figure out how to save his eldest son, he was caught off guard by the face of his fourth son.
In other words, it was not only his eldest son who defiled his woman, but also his fourth son!
The emperor stood stiffly, staring blankly at everything in the room. He really wished he could poke out his own eyes.
Even though the door of the house had been slammed open with such force and made such a loud noise, the people in the house seemed not to have heard anything. They continued to do what they were supposed to do and moved as usual, without being affected at all.
The emperor understood that Li Beichen would not leave him any way out, but this was too cruel!
These three people must have been given a lot of drugs to achieve the current effect!
How could a person who could become an emperor not be smart? Although he felt ashamed and angry, he quickly figured everything out.
He understood that it was he who attacked Li Beichen and Li Beichen fought back.
He also figured out why Li Beichen chose Concubine Jing and the eldest prince.
But why was the Fourth Prince also chosen by Li Beichen?
