Chapter 473

Right now, County Princess Duan Rou was more angry than sad and panicked than regretful; after all, she and Gu Xi had grown up in Yuzhou since they were young, so they had only met the Imperial Consort Fang for a few years when they were young and their memories had long been blurred. In short, they did not have a deep affection for her.

However, County Princess Duan Rou also knew that if such a big mistake was made on this errand, her father would be furious, and if that happened, those concubines in the palace at home would be eager to step on her.

After all, her dignity comes from being a legitimate daughter and secondly, because she was the only county princess granted by the late emperor in Wang Yu’s clan. After the current emperor ascended the throne, there was never a princess in Wang Yu’s clan again.

Gu Xi: “…”

Gu Xi clenched and unclenched his fists on his side, and repeated this again and again that the blue veins in the corner of his eyes pulsated violently as he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this situation, County Princess Duan Rou’s mind was even more chaotic, she quickly proposed. “Third brother, why don’t we just say that the substitute is grandmother, anyway, father would have been deliberately looking for someone who looked like grandmother. Over the years, he had her learn how to speak and act like grandmother, and father had not seen grandmother for more than 11 years…” It would probably be impossible for their father to remember clearly what the Imperial Concubine Fang looked like now.

The more County Princess Duan Rou said, the more she felt that her ideas were good.

Gu Xi on the other hand, almost laughed out loud at County Princess Duan Rou’s absorbed idea but was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and only gave her two words. “Shut up!”

He originally did not want to bring this sister with him, but she insisted on showing off in front of their father and convinced him and their mother, so he could only bring her with him.

County Princess Duan Rou could only purse her lips, feeling a little aggrieved, thinking that her third brother was venting his anger on her.

He did not do his job well, so she came up with a good idea with good intentions but he scolded her instead, without thinking that if this errand goes wrong it would have a greater impact on him!

Gu Xi ignored County Princess Duan Rou and focused his mind on the whole matter with furrowed brows.

Since the emperor was able to handle this matter so confidentially, it meant that he knew their intentions very early and had been using them to his advantage, which was why he had let them go so easily and let them burn the palace. And just let them slap themselves by personally burning Imperial Consort Fang in Tai’an Palace with their own hands.

The emperor’s plan was so thorough that he made this possible to this point, so now the emperor’s next move should be…

Gu Xi’s eyes snapped open wide, as he ordered the captain guard. “Quickly, pack up your things and set off with all due haste.”

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s words, the captain guard understood that he had no intention of keeping these tents and left here as quickly as possible.

“Yes, Third Master!” The captain guard immediately led to this order.

County Princess Duan Rou looked at Gu Xi in confusion, “Third Brother?”

The captain of the guards knew that this matter was not trivial and immediately passed Gu Xi’s order. The guards and servants of the entire camp became agitated, packing everything they could carry and loading it onto the carriage.

However, regardless of how fast they moved, it was already too late. The approaching sound of the horse hooves could already be heard from both ends of the official road, which was particularly loud on this quiet night.
