Chapter 459

The more courtiers thought about it, the more cold they felt, especially now that the second prince chose to marry someone from Wang Yu’s side; this was something they, the courtiers, could not understand.

However, they could no longer leave the second prince’s ship.

Therefore, they attempted to persuade Lord Chengen to accept it.

If they withdraw now, they could escape unscathed, even if this means they could not make progress in their career in the future, at least they would not get hurt. The emperor has always been lenient, and the most he could do was beat them.

How could Lord Chengen not know the current situation was not quite favorable, but he was not willing to do so.

If the sixth prince ascended to the throne, the title of Lord Chengen would be passed down to one generation at most, and their Liu family would be extinct, so how could he be willing!

Besides, the second prince had not lost yet, and he was not without hope.

Lord Chengen pacified them. “You must not imitate others’ ambitions. Don’t forget that the second prince will soon have the emperor’s eldest grandson.”

“The sixth prince is too young. How can a six-year-old child be fit for the position of a crown prince!”

“…”

After persuading these people, Lord Chengen continued to say that this would soon become an old story when all was said and done. He knew very well in his heart that these people would not act without him giving them something in return, and if they did not see some hope, they might have second thoughts.

His eyes flickered with dark light as his gaze fell on Gu Zezhi, who was talking to someone ahead.

The two crossed and passed by without saying a word to each other.

Lord Chengen left the palace, while Gu Zezhi entered imperial study.

As soon as the emperor saw Gu Zezhi, he invited him to sit down and said teasingly, as he smiled. “Zezhi, I see that Zhen’er is very attached to you, why don’t you bring him back to your mansion and stay there for some time.”

Gu Zezhi raised his gaze meeting the emperor’s eyes and said calmly. “Your majesty, I’m getting married soon.”

The aim was to ask the emperor to spare him.

The emperor laughed out loud, walked over to sit beside Gu Zezhi, and smiled. “How are the wedding preparations going?”

“77 to 78%.” The bottom of Gu Zezhi’s eyes was filled with smiles like spring water rippling and reflecting radiantly on his face.

Looking at the young man’s spirited appearance, the emperor also felt emotional. He could not help but recall his feelings when he was the groom and gave Gu Zezhi some advice.

Gu Zezhi also listened patiently.

The two, the ruler and his minister, were talking and laughing, making the atmosphere in the imperial study pleasant until Zhou Xin came in and presented a document. “Your Majesty, the third son of Wang Yu, Gu Xi, handed this document just now, requesting to return to Yuzhou with the County Princess Duan Rou.”

After the words fell, there was silence in imperial study.

The unicorn three-legged incense burner in the corner curled up and exhaled a puff of green smoke and a light smoky aroma filled the air.
